Confirmed from Honey Dew Creek 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.
Easy trail featuring a creek with abundant vegetation, for families and dogs alike.
What runners say about Honey Dew Creek Trailhead
“Very small hike, clean, through a tiny canyon.”
“Beautiful place, I love it and my dog is very happy walking there.”
“Easy hike with the pooch and never crowded or many people to be seen.”
“:) The babbling creek serenaded us the entire route, and the generous wide path allowed my dog to walk happily around me.”
Very pretty trail. It is an old gravel road, so it's wide and easy to walk. Parking at the trailhead is non-existent, but a short walk from the main road where is plenty of street parking. Great fall colors this time of year.
Awesome find and trail about 13 mins from us. My dog and I loved the short hike here along the greenery and the creek. You'll just have to find some street parking. Some sections can be a bit mushy after rain.
The trail is spectacular, not very steep so perfect for beginners. The creek is very calming and there are lots of interesting rocks
Lives up to a 'honeydew' as we were fully surrounded by a canopy of greens! :) The babbling creek serenaded us the entire route, and the generous wide path allowed my dog to walk happily around me. Seems the trail can be entered from a blocked gate with no signs or from a neighborhood area.

“There's a slight hill you go down to get to the hike itself, which isn't too bad walking up it when you go back.”
