We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Hickory Ridge 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 Hickory Ridge Trail
This is one of three hiking trails in this conservation area, and it has two options for a shorter or longer hike. The area is hilly and paved, and the wildlife it takes you through is beautiful!
