Confirmed from Brick Reservoir'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.

Beautiful, simple 1.65 mile lap around a reservoir. Usually not too crowded. Only downside would be that there are often a lot of geese from late spring to early fall. They usually mind their own business but can sometimes stay on the path. (And their poop will be everywhere 😮)

Beutifull 1.5 mile walk around the resivore. They have benches along the whole walk. and water at 2 points. I Definitely will be going back...

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.
