Confirmed from Murdock Canal 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.

Excellent, mostly flat trail with great views. I ran 26 miles out and back and it was very enjoyable!
Smooth, long, paved trail, with great lake and City trails. Perfect for rollers, skateboard, rollerblades... My son really enjoyed it
I love the Murdock canal trail! I live nearby, and enjoy coming here for walking and biking. Very flat... Perfect for me.
This trail rest stop has a water fountain (though the water was warm) and a shaded picnic table to rest at and relax.
