We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Black Creek Walking Trail 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 Black Creek Walking Trail
“Such beautiful scenery and so available by a very well maintained trail.”
“Some of the paths are pretty intense hikes that I would not recommend tackling unprepared but black creek trail itself is a very easy walk on a gravel path.”
My favorite place in Gadsden. There's hours and miles of exploring to do. It's easy to forget how close civilization is. There's a lot of old growth trees and wildflowers. The way the earth has come apart left large boulders that are so much fun to climb with small caves and crevices everywhere.
Great place to walk and relax and enjoy the out doors, with family and friends , for the great peace and relaxation of the doors and wildlife, as well as waterfalls.
Cool hiking and biking trails of all levels. Gorge trail is really cool and picturesque. Two every points. Bathroom facilities limited.
Awesome place to get outdoors for biking , hiking , photography or whatever gets you moving!
