We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Kimball Trail 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 Kimball Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (1 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great Auto 1 mile loop with a couple little creeks. The forest is eating the trail at parts so it might be difficult to stay on it unless you have a compass or are a forest Jedi

★★★★☆ — Kilgore , Jul 2025
