We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Flume 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 Flume Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (21 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice short trail that connects with the other trails nearby. This place is beautiful. Went with a few friends and walk up and down and did the loop. Cool little spot.

★★★★★ — David , Sep 2021

I desperately want to explore more of this place because it had so much to see and it's nice to have somewhere nearby to go for walking and exploring.

★★★★★ — Ivory , May 2021

I was there to set up a booth for the Reno VA. I did notice it seemed like a nice place to walk or ride a bike

★★★★★ — Randall , Jan 2023
