Confirmed from Maxwell Creek 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 Maxwell Creek Trails
Fantastic trails for mountain biking (beginner and advanced) and hiking. The trails are well maintained and marked, and include several bridges for crossing creeks and small streams.
Great trail, ride it a few times a week. Full lap is about 6 miles. Mixed skill level. Look for blue and silver trail arrows.
Amazing trails for hiking and/or Mountain biking! The trail steward is a real hero for producing this gem!
Fantastic Trail! We are fortunate to have this in our 'backyard'. This trail has been developed over the last several years primarily by one dedicated trail steward with support from an active community of local users, mostly mountain bikers.
