Confirmed from Cathedral Caverns State Park Hiking Trails' 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 Cathedral Caverns State Park Hiking Trails
“beautiful campground, love the large new sites and the views.”
Excellent adventure through the woods. Moderate hills and a few spots of mud. Wear hiking attire. Dont forget the bug spray. We walked the yellow trail, 1.5 miles round-trip. Stopped halfway through for lunch( we brought it of course).
Trail was ok but didn't go anywhere. If you just want to walk through the woods, this is the trail for you.
Beautiful place. We walked the caverns. Didn't have time to experience the trails in this trip.
The trails are moderate but worth the effort. Though be prepared for rocky terrain and spider webs in your path, as well as mosquitos coming at you from all directions. Views are excellent, but the incline can get steep at times.
