Confirmed from Cox Pinnacle 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 Cox Pinnacle Trail
“Easy trails for anyone, you can't get lost which is always a plus.”
We had a good hike today! Nothing exciting about this place. But a nice walk in the woods for sure. It was a beautiful spring day with mostly sun. Some soggy spots, nothing to complain about. Some nice planks to walk on. Maybe we would come back at some point. Good place for dogs that aren't so friendly.
I joined a friend on a walk on this trail. It was my first time checking it out, and I loved it!
Brunswick's highest point. A difficult trail to find with very little marking it and far from.the parking area, but definitely a lovely walk.
Nice, easy trails with a little elevation. Did some geochaching while there. Dogs loved it!
