We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Lake Ann Back 40 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 Lake Ann Back 40 Trailhead
Great place to hit a variety of trails. They aren't sanitized for the riders that pedal around on their FS bikes with dropper posts down all the time so they can get off and on their bikes easier. The trails dry quickly after rain. Just be prepared for flats if you are riding light weight tires.
Nicely situated in the heart of the Back 40 trail system. Countless loops to piece together just make sure you utilize Go Ride trail to deliver you back to the parking lot!
These trails are great for biking, hiking, running, exploring. We love it here!
Wouldn’t use this trailhead to access the Back 40 next time, it’s a burner climb just getting up to the trail. Nice park but would use Blowing Springs
