Confirmed from Honey Run 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 Honey Run Trailhead
This 3+ mile section is a great little trail. You can start from either end. Elevation changes aren't terribly different going either direction so I choose to start on the end on the paved road vs traveling on gravel.
Left a review for the lower loops but this TH is the start of the "downhill" section that connects to the other trails down below. Again, very well maintained and flowy. Such a great trail even if hiked. Many beautiful open fields (vegetation is not too dense), mossy paths, tall grass, water crossings, and more.
This is a wonderful small trail, three miles or more. You may begin at either end. Since there aren't many elevation changes in either way, I prefer to start on the paved road at the end rather than the dirt one. Nothing was too much for this 48-year-old rookie with a subpar hardtail bike and inadequate training.
If you are a mountain biker, this trail is quite a workout. Alot of fun, but if you get tired walking up 4 flights of stairs, then find a beginner trail instead. There is a bathroom nearby at the Coakley Hollow Trail, as long as the visitor center is open BRING PLENTY OF WATER, AND SNACKS, ECT...BUG SPRAY FOR SURE!
