Confirmed from Colby Phillips 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.

Beautiful public trail. Tons of free, legal parking on Circuit St. Sometimes Winslow Trucking is illegally parked in the middle of the fire access road but there is still plenty of room to walk around the truck.
Access to the trails via Circuit Street is serviced by a public way; it’s not private property.
Great spot for a nature walk! Free parking on the street is easily accessible!
