We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Eastern Bench on Red Cedar Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Eastern Bench on Red Cedar Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (1 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Very peaceful, easy, short, trail. The deer lichen is my favorite. They remind me of the trolls in Frozen. Deer Lichen, I lichen you Dear. 😁
