We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Idler's Rest Creek Walking 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 Idler's Rest Creek Walking

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (9 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

1/15/22: This place almost killed me. And I give it five-star for this emergency night-time military training. Make sure you take your headlight and download AllTrail APP into your phone. I lost the trail when coming back to my car parked on Idler Rest Rd to the south. I actually went towards W Twin Rd to the north.
