Confirmed from Clairmont Avenue Walking 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 Clairmont Avenue Walking Trail
♿️⚠️Beautiful walking area, paved, but there are several hills that may be difficult unless this is something you are used to walking or in a wheelchair. I had just gotten my newest prosthetic and wanted to see how well I could do. There are several spots to parallel park and only hold maybe 4 cars each.
