We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Hawk Canyon 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 Hawk Canyon Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (4 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Hawk Canyon is a bit of a hidden gem, at least for me it was, having lived in TO for so long. It's a nice, easy trail with lots of shade along a small creek (careful of the poison oak growing next to the creek). There are beautiful wildflowers this Spring.

I'm a newbie and this is the second time I rode this very pretty trail. I fell twice the first time but had no problems today, just had fun on a great day.
