Confirmed from China Garden Trail'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 China Garden Trail
“Always a great place to pull off to relax make some phone calls do whatever you need to do for your business day quiet”
“A nice easy trail to the creekside.”
Defined trails leading to cave, dirt and somewhat rocky terrain surrounded by trees, and Clear Creek water, blackberry bushes can be found if you keep an eye out...
Nice place to hike..moderate retainer..most folks seem to obey the posted rules. If you pack it in..please pack it out..no one wants to pick up after other adults who should know better..Thank you.
A nice easy trail to the creekside. Water is very shallow on this part of the stream.
