Confirmed from Mossdale Crossing Regional Park'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.

Awesome little park to come have a short walk and look at the river. Also a great fishing spot. Has a minimum day use fee but has a bathroom and picnic table with bbq grill.

★★★★☆ — Inderjit , Mar 2023

The scenery of this place is amazing! Lots of lovely trails to choose from when going on a hike around this area. The trails range from short and easy to very long. If you really want a nice home you can take a trail about 12 miles all the way to another county!

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.
