Confirmed from McGilvray "Seven Bridges" Road'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.

Cool little stop. Sang the Eagles song while walking the road. Lots of skeeters!
Very nice trail that has six bridges. The seventh bridge is no longer present. Quite a nice walk that's about 2.5 miles one way. This trail is wonderful when there are no mosquitos around, when the mosquitoes show up they pretty much own the place.
Love the history of this place. You go down some stairs to this 3.9 mile round trip of a manageable trail. Some parts were a little rocky or you had to stray around an obstacle to withstand mud but we loved it.
Beautiful short and flat trail. A hair over 3.5 miles round trip. 6 of 7 bridges still around with pretty scenery everywhere. Good trail for all ages.
