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

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This trail is very much rewarding for those who know! Otherwise it’s a pleasant exercise path with a lovely biome to experience within these treasured hills. I often find myself in the canyon during the hotter days of the year thou the changes winter brings draw me in all the same.

It's a nice hike to this trail and then once you find the trail it was most enjoyable
