We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Bellinger Island yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Bellinger Island
“Absolutely Beautiful just like everything you can encounter on beautiful Daniels Island”
Clean little local park with maintained trails and a small pier for fishing. It doesn't take long to go around the whole thing, and there's a viewing platform to look out over the marsh in the back. It's a great place to include in a run around Daniel Island.
Small but awesome little island. I mean we can walk through the entire Island in less than 10 minutes but great place to walk, take the dog, fish in the inlet and if your lucky enough to have a boat and live on the island(with a fob) you can load/unload your boat there.
