Confirmed from Dirty Woman Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews.

All in all a pretty nice little spot 👌

This is one of the nicest City Parks I've been to in a while. Very well maintained and clean. The restroom was amazingly well kept. I would have given it a 5 star rating but while walking through the area where the creek separated the two sections of the park there were signs posted for the "Poison Hemlock" just a…

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.
