We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Blackhaw Accessible 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 Blackhaw Accessible Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a paved trail that goes from the parking lot south of State Park Road 212 to Bulldog Shelter House. The trail is easy and has great views of the lake.

★★★★★ — Rjd , Jun 2024

A beautiful spot with easy and accessible little trail. Breathtaking views, plenty of nature, a small pavilion that can be reserved for picnics.

★★★★★ — Madison , Sep 2025
