Confirmed from Mushroom Pond 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.
Kid-friendly park with trails and a paved path, plus birds and a pond.
What runners say about Mushroom Pond Trailhead
“I love this place it's always quiet wildlife around a lot of ducks geese you'll see rabbits snakes all different kinds there really cool really peaceful it's a nice walk”
Nice trail, paved paths, a pond, birds, and a mushroom tower. What else do you need from a Thanksgiving day walk?
Peaceful, quiet spot that is not in the mountains. Great little pond ducks and gravel walking trail! We have been coming here for years!
I almost didn't want to give this place a great review, because I'd prefer to have the trail all to myself, but I admit it's wonderful here. There are all kinds of established concrete and pebble paths to walk on as well as a few hidden little dirt trails.
Nice hidden lake for fishing, trails for biking and shade for relaxing, I loved it!!

- SurfaceMixed — more than one surface along the route, so check the segment you plan to run
