Confirmed from Forest Park Blue 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 Forest Park Blue Trail Head
Great trail, and nature walk. Gets quite busy in the afternoon after work hours, but it’s really peaceful and large. Specifically the Blue trail is small and it’s actually quite easy to go into the yellow trail which is longer so look out for that!
Great place for a hike no matter if you like to be on trail or off trail. I took my dog there all the time so she can run in the trees and enjoy the nature. Very nicely maintained park as well.
