Confirmed from Crider Avenue 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.

“Finally dry enough for a relaxing walk and to enjoy the beautiful chirp, chatter and singing of the birds.”

Just a short little loop up a hill and then back down it. We did see two deer which really got my children excited. Could do a few loops before you go to make it a real workout.

★★★★☆ — Erika , Jul 2022

The perfect little loop for walking with the family. It has a steep hill climb right at the start, but there are benches to rest at if you need a break. It's nice to get out in the wilderness (even if it's still pretty much in town) with family.

★★★★★ — Gage , Jan 2023

Finally dry enough for a relaxing walk and to enjoy the beautiful chirp, chatter and singing of the birds. And a good chance of seeing some curious deer.

★★★★★ — Allen , Mar 2022

Great little trail. About a half mile includes a winding path that goes up a small hill. We've seen deer, fox, and various birds. Beautiful

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.
