Confirmed from Haycraft Trailhead'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 Haycraft 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.

This trail just under 3/4 mile can be quite confusing to follow. Its a mix of fields, street crossings, backyard traversing and finally a short section of single-track trail. Start this trail by crossing RXR tracks and continuing adjacent to the tracks until the small bridge accesses a neighboring field.
