Confirmed from Connors Farm Trailhead'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.
Picnic tables, hiking trails, ponds, and woods are found at this park.
What runners say about Connors Farm Trailhead
“Beautiful scenery, rolling hills surrounded by woods, nice pond in the middle and gorgeous Magnolia tree - very nice and peaceful place”
“The red dot trail is extremely well marked, and at just over a mile, is a great way to introduce you get ones to hiking.”
Beautiful landscape, great trails. Precious little pond with bullfrog music filtering through the trees. Made me smile through my entire hike. Trail difficulty is easy, in my opinion (others say easy to moderate) but more moderate when you pick up and maintain a decent pace.
Walked the red trail. It was very fun. The trail went up above some rocks and looped right back around. Trail is covered with trees making it very cool to walk. I can't wait to see how it is in the summer. The area at the start of the trail fits maybe 3 cars if they park nicely.
Great Trail. 🥾🌲🥰 But a lot of hills it gets tiring, for me at least. I'm definitely going back again.
Nice trails, lots of great boulders and rock geology here. The trails can be wide to slightly narrow with changes in elevation. I would rate them as between a 2.5 to 3 terrain on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the most difficult terrain.

“Short trail leading to a scenic cliff face then you can hike (red) loop trail up and over the cliffs (picnic table above) for a rest.”
“The parking area can be a little difficult to spot until you're right there as it's between two private properties but there is a large sign and trail map once you do find it.”
“Watch your step as the rocks and roots my surprise and cause your trek to be a painful one.”
“The red dot trail is extremely well marked, and at just over a mile, is a great way to introduce you get ones to hiking.”
