We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Chestnut Branch Trail 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.
What runners say about Chestnut Branch Trail
I have been on this short trail several times. It is a somewhat hidden gem with few people aware of it or taking advantage of it. The stream flowing out of Alcyon lake rises and lowers with the seasons and the weather, but the sound of flowing water is relaxing. Great place to walk a dog!
