Confirmed from Katie Aylor and Brandi Cook Nature 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.

What runners say about Katie Aylor and Brandi Cook Nature Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (18 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Amazing park. Wonderful trail with branching paths, beautiful Creek with lots of wildlife and clean water. Not deep enough for swimming - but that's the best type of Creek, imo. You can easily get lost down this trail for hours, looking at how cool this small little slice of nature sandwiched in the city has survived.

★★★★★ — Alex , Dec 2020

One of me my go to trails to head to for photography shoot. The creek is very accessible.

★★★★☆ — Victoria , Sep 2016

Easy, clean trail to take. Lots of shade with a creek that you'll walk along at times.

★★★★★ — Reyna , Aug 2024

Hiked for fall colors. Very quiet and easy flat trail. Enjoy it very much. Thanks.
