Confirmed from Foothills Multi-use Trail Head'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 Foothills Multi-use Trail Head
Totally stumbled onto this place while cruising Little River Road on my EMTB. I think it's brand new. It was not on a map. I was the only one on the trails. A skill builder for me. I did the On-Ramp and a little more. Some very steep ups downs and turns. Loose dirt and rocks and roots.
Good network of trails and single track for dirt biking. Had a ball on my Husky TE300. For sure I'll be back to explore more of the trails here. Lots of bear spoor at higher elevations, be aware!
Great area to park, and ride your off-road. Has a dock to offload and load your equipment. Great scenery and trails. Clean parking lot.
