Confirmed from Big Rock Trail'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 Big Rock Trail
“What a beautiful trail and fun playground at the park nearby.”
What a beautiful trail and fun playground at the park nearby. We had so much fun here. I wish we had a fishing pole and picnic.
Beautiful views, very serene and spacious. The walking trails are very conserved, clean, well take care. There are several tennis courts in the promises that are available for reservations. They count with multiple picnic benches and grills for barbecue.
A nice public place to meet or go for a walk, pleasant reflection, or a big party gathering.
