We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Grand Ridge Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Grand Ridge Trail
This is not necessarily a trailhead, but a trail crossing in Grand Ridge Park. There is no real parking to speak of no facilities. I typically just run across the road to the other section of the park.
was hoping to do much less than the ~7 miles of hike for the Grand Ridge Park (from the Central Park area). And looking at the Google_Map, i found there's a probably a shorter ~3+ miles-loop hike from a "Trailhead/Connector" at Grand Ridge Dr (GPS Co-ordinates approx: 47.54303, -121.98888).
You can hike from here! Park on NE Harrison street and walk to the trailhead, which is located on a private road (it’s ok to walk on it though). The trailhead here connects to a lovely series of trails that crisscross the hillside. A very pleasant place for a walk, just watch out for mountain bikers!😊
I’ve been riding this trail since it was a horse trail. With incredible trail maintenance and improvements over the years, it’s evolved into a fantastic network of well managed trails, still frequented and shared by wildlife. Some days are just magical.
