Confirmed from Mound View State Trail'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 Mound View State Trail
Biked in the beginning of April 2021. Temperature was around 50F. There were plenty of red-winged blackbirds that were quite big and males had vivid colors. I thought they’d be much thinner after a long journey. I didn’t see any females. I suspect that they were brooding hidden in the grass.
I was pleasantly surprised at this gem of a trail. You can ride your bike all morning or make it a quick ride. The trail has asphalt which makes for a smooth ride. No big hills either!
Trail conditions & character
“Picturesque open country views with two Mounds in the back (one marked for men, and another unmarked must be for women), all paved surface- excellent for a road bike.”
