Confirmed from Mascoutin Valley State Trailhead East'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 Mascoutin Valley State Trailhead East
Nice trail for just walking. A lot of dog owners take their dogs out here with no leash, despite the fact that a dog leash is a posted requirement on this trail. I wish someone was available to enforce the leash regulation.
Beautiful trail, especially in the hours before sunset. Had to pedal fast for bursts to lose the enterage of deer flies and horse flies, though both seemed to let up around sunset
This is a very newly hiking trail! It wides thru all kinds of terrain, from marshy wetlands, to blacktop biking areas, your going to come across all sorts of surprises and breath taking views. I would recommend the entire trail but if you only get a small but of it you will be glad you did. Very keel trail!
Nice trails, great scenery, and occasionally we catch glimpses of wildlife. Great place to take your dog for a walk. Very refreshing and a great stress relieving location.
