Confirmed from Little Bay Walking Trails' 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 Little Bay Walking Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (23 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Very nice little trail system that spans hills, train tracks, and quiet segments of beach.”

Very nice little trail system that spans hills, train tracks, and quiet segments of beach. The parking lot only fits 4 cars, so head down the road to the main Monks Park parking lot if you can't find a spot and then take the trails North.

★★★★★ — Kodiak , Jan 2021

Great place to take a walk along the loop in the forest by the marsh for geocaching multiple in the area!

★★★★☆ — Matt , Oct 2023

Peaceful and scenic place to go for a walk. It's just big enough to get a good walk in and you can bring your dog.

★★★★★ — Maea , Jul 2021

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
