Confirmed from Campion Trails Park'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.

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“Two Cricket Field but lacking shade and two walkable distances from the parking.”

A piece of my soul rests here. It's where I recharge. It's where I go when the world gets crazy. It's where I center myself. It's my favorite place on the planet and I've been lots of places on the planet. I still have lots of places to go and I know I will always return here... Go. Run. Walk. Be. Find yourself here.

★★★★★ — M.R. , Jan 2020

A great trail and Park for individuals and families; centrally located with multiple easy access points and parking areas. The trails are paved, and adequately wide, making it suitable for safely riding a bicycle, inline skating , running , and walking without interfering with oncoming traffic, even on the weekends.

★★★★★ — Yanni , Jul 2023

Long trail for cyclists... Also wide. Lots of pretty views. Hasn't been overly crowded, which has been a problem when I ride WRL area and sometimes trinity trails. I got about 14 miles in and didn't explore the whole trail. I've heard it goes pretty far south so I'm looking forward to seeing how far this trail goes.

★★★★★ — Travich , Apr 2021

Great trail with some amazing views off of their dirt trails. When the weather is nice its amazing. Plenty of shade on most of the concrete trail as well!

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.
