Confirmed from Martin's Meadows Open Space'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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (25 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Great views of the Rum River and nature only one other person there.”

Martin Meadows is a gem. Great trails. Good scenery. And... If you live in Anoka County... It's right in your backyard.

★★★★★ — Spook , Oct 2017

Absolutely beautiful in the Fall. About 2 miles long, with hills. Quite secluded, and never many hikers.

★★★★★ — Cheri , Oct 2022

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.
