We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Jerico-Hudnell Ditch Trailhead 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 Jerico-Hudnell Ditch Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great place to walk with your family, fur babies or just to take a quick stroll in nature. Most likely you will not run into many people. Map in pictures. Plus QR code for hunting regulations.

★★★★★ — Randi , Dec 2023

I decided to check this place out since there were no reviews. There wasn't anything particularly interesting, just a bunch of access roads you can hike or bike on. Good if you are looking for a quiet place for long distance activities. I did the loop and the Hudnell Ditch Trail, which was 9 miles in total.

★★★★★ — Joe , Jan 2023

Road to trail head isn't paved, but not rough. Few potholes. Trails are park roads, so wide and clear. Trails easy, long and straight.

★★★★★ — Clinton , Jul 2025

Great spot to walk pets but bring a friend. Its secluded and I bring my kids but wouldn't advise solo for safety reasons.

★★★★★ — Nate , Dec 2025
