Confirmed from Hikshari’ Trail Truesdale Vista Point'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 Hikshari’ Trail Truesdale Vista Point
“Great view of the feral human preserve.”
The trailer keeps getting better and better. The city takes care of it and has Your Local Mow Man maintaining the brush. The trial has beeb extended other ways to walk throughout the Hikshari trail, out towards humboldt hill and eventually connecting right into the trail coming from Arcata.
Nice trail although it did smell bad at one point, but it didn't linger. There must be some kinda drainage issue close by because that is what is smelled like.
It's a great trail that follows the Bay. It's good in the winter to view shore birds. Good for walks or bike rides.
