Confirmed from East Gate of Hawthorne 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 East Gate of Hawthorne Trail
I worked in the area and got to work early and went back on the trails to see what they were like and I found it a little extraordinary to be out there at six in the morning but it was very peaceful and I got a peace of mind
This is a really good urban trail and I’d like to explore the area more.
