Confirmed from Clyde Woolridge Staging'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.

Great trails, and a nice little coffee shop in the boathouse if you want a lil treat.

★★★★★ — Richard , Nov 2024

This area is fantastic for a walk in the woods and for enjoying some quiet time. The path is a dirt road, which can be challenging to ride a bicycle on if you lack experience. You can explore for miles, so be sure to bring hiking shoes and water.

★★★★★ — Casburn , May 2025

This is a long trail with various terrains. There is enough selection that You can pick the route with the length that you prefer. I love that it's green and not too difficult but also not too easy.

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.
