Confirmed from Huff ’n’ Puff Trail'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.
Wood-chipped trails crisscross this tranquil park where you can walk, run and hike.
What runners say about Huff ’n’ Puff Trail
“Great trail, beautiful surroundings, easy to walk.”
“A beautiful, quiet, peaceful place to walk.”
“Nice easy trail for a walk in a forest.”
Good place to walk your dog, yourself, and play Frisbee golf. High quality, would huff and or puff again.
What a great place to fit in a quick exercise walk. Well-maintained wide trails zig zag through a forest with a really nice native plant understory. Multiple flat and gently sloped trails to choose from for the time and energy I have. Seems like safe enough parking, open understory for security.
A beautiful, quiet, peaceful place to walk. Recently new bark was put down on the trail, so it's even better! It's like talking a hike...but so close to home. Perfect on a hot day because it has lots of shade.
Nice long trail to enjoy a walk alone or with a friend. There’s a disc golf course too for those who play. Some Pokémon go gyms also! But there’s more to adventure off too off the trail which was fun
