    Tips

    Hiking

    Like the Lower Pipeline section of this trail, the Upper Pipeline Trail is mostly easy walking that follows an old wooden pipeline and is sometimes overcome by sprawling berry bushes, including blueberries, huckleberries and salmonberries. This section of trail ends very close to Connell Lake; a short walk along the road will take you the rest of the way to the lakeshore.

    Running

    Like the Lower Pipeline section of this trail, the Upper Pipeline Trail is mostly easy running that follows an old wooden pipeline.
    However, the trail is sometimes overcome by sprawling berry bushes, including blueberries, huckleberries and salmonberries, which can really increase your risk of unexpected wildlife encounters. Bears like berries too!

    With that in mind, those sections of trail are best run before the overgrowth sets in, or after the plants have died back. And, as always, with appropriate caution — because wildlife encounters can happen anywhere, in any season.
