Confirmed from Hawk Trail Race'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.
Serene park with an extensive trail system, hosting races and outdoor activities.
What runners say about Hawk Trail Race
“Very nice and quiet very well-maintained.”
We saw 56 inch worms a big bettle and a bug that i dont know what it was. All in all great trails and lots of critters.
Love this Trail! Very nice and quiet very well-maintained. Took the kiddos out for a field trip. Allow them to run around and see flowers and birds. Their teacher would be proud.
Ran my first 10k ever here. Probably first and last 10k,unless I find this location again!! It was such an awesome trail!
Great trail, well marked. If you are the first through be prepared to fight through spider webs!
