Confirmed from Big Creek Greenway Trailhead Union Hill Rd.'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.
Park featuring a shaded, well-maintained trail for walking, biking, and jogging.

It's a beautiful long walking trail with 90% boardwalk. Helps gets my steps for the day
A Great Trail! I found this trail and I love it! It's very long, so you can walk or bike for a long time. The trail is clean and has lots of nice plants and trees around it. It's easy to walk or bike on because it's flat and smooth. It’s stroller friendly too.
Great place to walk, run, and bike. Trails are pave, you can road bike or mountain bike, but keep speed to 15 mph limit, it's about 20+ miles round trip. People are friendly and nice, always respect each other and ride safely around people.
Beautiful easy trail, mostly boardwalk. It's a long trail with many entrances and exits ideal for bikers and joggers. You my see deers along with the trail. Recommended for those who are looking for easy trek.
