Confirmed from Blackstrap trailhead'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 Blackstrap trailhead
Great mountain biking trails for the area. Bust a move and Flow Creek are excellent.
Absolutely love this trail system. Great mountain bike single track trails, and hiking trails. Dog friendly, great views, and lots to explore!
Excellent trail. Managed my Maine Trail Builders, and always clean. This is my favorite place for a day ride or a day hike.
Get there early on the weekends if you want a parking spot. Great mountain bike trails.
Trail conditions & character
“Fun spot, if I'm short on time or if it might be muddy I hit hayfield to poplar ridge to bustamove (clockwise) to river flow.”
Plan your run at Blackstrap trailhead
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- SurfaceNatural surface — easiest on the joints and the most fun, but expect roots, rocks and mud after rain
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
