Keene Road Trail

This is another paved trail, so for those of you who love the dirt, I'm sorry! I, myself, usually try to avoid running on pavement, but I love this trail! Whether you want to go for a walk or bike ride with your kids, run with a stroller, or just enjoy a nice walk/run with a view of Badger Mountain, I think you will love it too.

Location: Keene Rd Trail runs along Keene Rd (betcha didn't see that coming!) from S Highlands Blvd in West Richland all the way to N Steptoe St in Kennewick. Along the trail you will cross roads such as Bombing Range Rd, Queensgate Dr, and Leslie Rd. If you're coming from Richland or Pasco across the Yakima River, hop onto I-182 and take exit 3A to Queensgate South, merge right onto Queensgate Drive, and if you continue on that, you'll hit Keene Rd.

Parking: You can park pretty much anywhere along the trail, but the places I would recommend parking are at Badger Mountain Community Park at 350 Keene Rd Richland, WA 99352 or, there is also a designated Keene Rd Trail Parking lot! It's in the Queensgate Village by Reflections Salon and Tanning (1950 Keene Rd, Richland, WA 99352) and it looks like this:

 You could even park at the Albertson's on the corner of Leslie and Gage and hop on the trail right here:

Just for your information: It's 4.5 miles from the end of the trail at Highlands Blvd to the Badger Mountain Community Park, just under 1 mile from the park to the crossing at Leslie Rd, and 1 mile from the cross at Leslie Rd to Steptoe Rd. 

Level of Difficulty: Easy
