Confirmed from Neusiok 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.
Dog-friendly hiking area offering varied forest landscapes, kid-friendly trails, and boardwalks.
What runners say about Neusiok Trail
“Scenic and varied forest landscapes Trail is generally easy but boardwalks can be slippery Best blueberries I’ve ever eaten”
Loved it. Did the hike from Ferry Road to 101 and back, about 5 1/2 miles. Nice clear trail. Good foot bridges. Clear, visable blazes too; orange. We did bring our dog. Good hike for those just starting or trying to get back into hiking.
a beautiful hike! Love taking it in the fall /winter time when the bugs are gone.

A good trail for a simple long calorie burning hike. Not the greatest for a nature hike, the brush on either side of the trail stands too tall to enjoy seeing anything but the tops of trees. Birds are used to people walking the trail and will not flee when they hear or see you get within a reasonable distance.

“Very muddy in the rain season, I recommend hiking boots over any other type of footwear.”
