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 Mitchell Hollow Trailhead, Murdock Canal Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is such a great trail! You can walk, run, and bike. Sometimes there's even a split trail for bikes and people on foot, but its plenty wide when its a single trail. There are restrooms and drinking fountains scattered along the way and the scenery is awesome!

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.
