Confirmed from Back 40 Buckingham Trailhead'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.
What runners say about Back 40 Buckingham Trailhead
How can I be the first reviewer? Good trail head, good parking with access to back 40 loop. Map at trail head but no h20; there is water midway through the loop. Field toilet available.
Great trail with a few technical sections. Trail intersects with Blowing Springs loop trail if you want an additional 7 miles on too of the 23 on the Back 40
An amazing hike with unbelievably beautiful scenery and wildlife, id tell anyone to walk or ride this trail for fun or relaxation!!
Very cool spot to park for small groups. Recommend clockwise around the lake, then SABT trail back for quick loop.
