Confirmed from H.G. Mays Walking 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 H.G. Mays Walking Trail
The trail is flat and easy to walk. You can enjoy nature observation. I think it's good to park in the Cove Spring Wetland Area along Owenton Rd.
