Confirmed from Longview Lake Horse-Hike 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 Longview Lake Horse-Hike Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great scenic trail! Maintained, easy to follow, scenic, never over crowded. Makes sure to check out the connector across Scherer Rd.
