Confirmed from Gailey Trail trailhead'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.

“Beautiful walking trail for all levels.”
It was beautiful. The west parking lot just goes to the walking path with trees and a river. The east parking lot has a playground. Kind of crowded but we visited on a Saturday so I’m sure it’s less busy on week days
This is a very nice trail to run on, walk on, bike, and just stare at sometimes. It is especially vibrant during the fall with its trees bearing yellow and gold leaves that portray its natural beauty. Could possibly be a nice spot for family pictures.
Loved it. A natural, only slightly improved trail along a creek which obviously floods periodically. Trail has been graveled at some time. The pup and I walked about a half mile uphill and when she tired we turned around and walked back. Natural setting and very relaxing and restoring.
We had a lovely nature walk on this trail. There are bridges, benches, and a rope swing. We saw some wildlife, and enjoyed walking through the fall leaves.
