Confirmed from IR36'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 IR36

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.

Nice island to pull boat up to and have lunch, hang out or even fish. Trail though the island however lots of garbage and broken glass, wear shoes.... And people take your garbage with you!

★★★★★ — Totally , May 2017

I am the president of a local nonprofit that adopted this island and it is definitely worth the trip. The hurricanes made the tables a little bit off but we plan to fix that very soon along with cleaning up the camping sites from invasive species and carving trails throught the island

★★★★★ — Jordan , Nov 2022

Island 36 has an expansive beach w/ lots of room for dogs to run - enter the cove from the south-eastern side for the best depth. At this time August 2022, it has very smelly, rotting seagrass on the east side.....yuck!

★★★★☆ — Julie , Aug 2022
