Confirmed from Larkspur 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 Larkspur Trail
This is a great trail that takes you from the base of Pilot Butte through the neighborhoods of larkspur. Great for an evening stroll, a daytime jog, or just commuting between neighborhoods. Several benches along the way as well as doggy doo Doo stations.
I wish it was marked a little better I get lost all the time and I see a different part of the trail every time but other than that it is really nice
Nice neighborhood park with trails that link up to county trails. Great spot.
