Confirmed from Julia Connector 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 Julia Connector Trailhead
We Love taking our dogs for a walk on the trail and they Love it. We really appreciate who's been taking care of this trail through the woods. Little bridge and waterfalls that run through.
Decent trail with many connectors. Can be a solid sweat if you take the trail all the way down to Quarry Park. Lots of new trees planted here recently let's you know this place is loved and well looked after!
Great park with a lot of space both in and out of the woods. The trails are pretty well kept and pleasant to walk through.
Nice small walking park in the middle of a busy area. Good views of downtown. Kind of hilly.
Trail conditions & character
“Easy little trail in the city with plenty of views.”
