How these were worked out
Natural surfacerecorded
OpenStreetMap records the surface of this trail as "ground". Source: OpenStreetMap, high confidence.
Gently gradedestimated
Nine tenths of this trail is at or below a 6.2% grade, so the climbing is easy going throughout. Source: DEM terrain profile, low confidence.

Biking is listed because the access rules record an explicit permission — see the bike section below for its authority. It is never inferred from the terrain.

Fern's Friendly Walk A gentle wander — great for kids, dogs, and wildflower stops.
