Confirmed from Edgecliff Park'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.
Park offering winding mountain biking and hiking trails along a clifftop, plus scenic views.
What runners say about Edgecliff Park
“It's heartbreaking that such a beautiful web of trails that covers so many terrains is completely disrespected.”
“The trails are pretty well kept and its pretty easy walking.”
If you can find it its worth visiting. Tons of trails to navigate. You'll want to wear decent footwear. Don't wear flip flops. Parking is VERY limited and mountain biking is very popular here. There did seem to be a lot of broken glass.
Oodles of trails to explore. There is parking on either side of the road, though poorly marked.
Provides a 5 mile round trip hike to Split Rock Quarry and the Stone Crusher. It starts out a little scrubby at Kasson Road but quickly moves into mature woods. Stay on the main trail a good mile and a 1/2, going down to the grey house.. Go out to the road and make a right uphill.
An alternate way to get to the rock crusher! I never knew this was here. Reasonably popular with mountain bikes, a couple of we'll maintained trails with lots of little side trails all eventually taking you to Split Rock Quarry. Bonus outhouse? Shipping container home? So much weirdness lol. Easy in & out

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
