Confirmed from Cabin John Trail Trailhead at Goya Drive'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 Cabin John Trail Trailhead at Goya Drive
Street parking. Northern-terminus trailhead for the 9 miles of Cabin John Trail. Heard a barred owl, hawks. Lots of bloodroot at peak bloom (4 April 2022). Trail well maintained.
So this place was interesting, it had beautiful view, but it gets 4 stars bc the terrain is impossible even after the lightest rain
