Confirmed from Munger Trail Trailhead'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.
Paved path for walking, biking and skating, plus hiking trails.
What runners say about Munger Trail Trailhead
“The trail itself was a haven of natural beauty, with scenic vistas accompanying me as I delved deeper into my foraging journey.”
This trail is one of the best of the area. It’s a paved trail and beautifully maintained. The scenery is glorious.
Biked a great portion of the trail, great for all (including dogs). Many miles, lots of scenic views & great backdrops, exposed rock & paved - so smooth even for you rollerbladers. Many split-off trails from the main if you desire less groomed trails or various workouts.
Beautiful paved walking trail that leads to wooded hiking paths. We stay on the paved trails. We stopped to stretch our legs and to get out of the vehicle for an hour walk around. Trains come and go, so you may see one on your hike/walk.
Fantastic asphalt trail for biking walking skate boarding and inline skating. I would recommend this trail to my friends and family!
