We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Case Mountain Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Definitely a beautiful area to park.”

11.30.24 This area has lots of parking spots, but on certain weekends, even these fill up very quickly. There are many trails here, so I recommend using the free AllTrails App to navigate. You may see other hikers, people with dogs, and mountain bikers. But you may also be on a trail and not see one person.

Definitely a beautiful area to park.There's plenty of parking and we started to head out.Onto a trail which we followed from the all trails app.Definitely a moderate hike with great view.Once you get to the top, it's not a steep applying to get to it, but it is definitely worth it.Check it out.

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.
