Confirmed from Blackhawk Creek Hike and Bike 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“The hiking trails, although quite easy, are filled with quiet, beautiful scenery!”

This is an excellent beginners to intermediate level trail. Great biking path with plenty of twists and turns, and only one longer hill. A few obstacles makes it fun, but the trail is still mostly a beginners level.

★★★★★ — Mary , Feb 2020

Fast & fun MTB action! Good intermediate to mildly advanced course with turnouts if you are less confident. If you are unsure about your skills, walk it first & consider taking the hiking path which is generally wider.

★★★★★ — Jon , Jun 2022

Not too bad! There is a place to park inside and the biking trail starts to the left a little hard to find if you don’t know where it is. It gets a little muddy but that’a part of the fun! I got off the trail a little some parts are not stupid proof but awesome spot for a short ride

★★★★☆ — Nick , May 2019

My husband and I hike the trails about 4-5x a week. We love it. So peaceful and well kept!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
