Confirmed from Gulick Farm 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.
What runners say about Gulick Farm Trail
Very short and easy trail. It takes about 10-15 minutes to pass it all, but... if you wanna dig some mud with a stick in the small brook (as my 3yo daughter did), it may take about 40 minutes to walk this trail :) It's a loop-shaped trail, which is good to finish where you started. No parking, which is bad.
no parking lot porta potty outside although unsure if it's for neighborhood construction or if it's year round refreshingly easy loop, nice light stroll of a hike

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
