Confirmed from Freetown Ledge'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.

“Nice rock ledge too bad it's got all kinds a graffiti , still pretty place, quiet, and peaceful”
“easy walking and nice maintained trails 💯”
Nice trails, beautiful scenery. Sometimes there are people on dirt bikes who zoom by without a care in the world and startles dogs, but overall a nice place to go for a hike.
This was a great walk it was easy to find trails are marked perfectly the trail is nice and wide with no overgrowth. When we reached the ledge I was absolutely amazed at the sheer magnitude of it's size, one of the most beautiful walks I have done in a long time.
Nice fun walk in , wasn’t to far in , about 1.3 miles from gate .. easy walking and nice maintained trails 💯
Took a walk out to the ledge today with the bf during the nice weather. Plenty of dirt bikes and it was beautiful weather for it. I didn't realize the trails they have that the dirt bikes use. Didn't get to the top today but maybe next time. The foliage is perfect for it.
