We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Guilford Woods Trailhead 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 Guilford Woods Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

A really nice connecting trail that exhibits some wonderful plant and animal life.

★★★★★ — Trevor , Nov 2021

This is an easy path through a lovely forested area with many native tree species. It's a wonderful way to get between the UMD campus and the University Park area. The path crosses a creek, Guilford Run, via a picturesque wooden bridge. There are a few paths in other parts of the woods.

★★★★★ — Alexa , Oct 2025
