Confirmed from Fourteen Mile Creek Trail'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.
Popular trail (for walking, hiking or biking) alongside a creek.
What runners say about Fourteen Mile Creek Trail
“Nice quiet & well maintained trail, I only went about a mile or so how do you continue it?”
It's a decent short little trail by a creek and between housing subdivisions. It's definitely a good chance to stretch your legs but not quite long enough for a morning's exercise. Parking is on the opposite side of the Exxon lot, and it's marked well.
Nice walking trail. Needs maintenance like most parks here but it was a nice shady walk regardless. There's 4 or 5 garbage cans, some doggy stations, some sitting benches by the creek and 1 picnic table.

Good trail if it hasn't been raining hard. Watch out for copperheads near the water.
