Confirmed from Abram's Rock's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Destination featuring historical landmarks, hiking trails, and mountain biking opportunities.
What runners say about Abram's Rock
Great biking trail. A lot of sections of boardwalk on the bottom section. Top section is a hill. Downhill trails are bike park quality moderate difficultly dirt jump/ free ride style trails. Also easy trails which can be used for uphill. Everything is very well maintained.
if your GPS brings you to the church parking lot, take a left out of the parking lot and park behind the library! You will see the entrance to all the trails from there! Great little hike for different skill levels, including various mushrooms like chicken of the woods, a small waterfall and various ponds!
Our favorite place to ride bikes so far! A little bit muddy from the rain yesterday, but the trails made it worth it. Cant wait to go back!
A solid group of trails with well maintained bike and walking paths little Bridges and dams as well as a rusty car or 2 to explore.
