Confirmed from North 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 North Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (4 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great place to social distance yourself as you're not likely to run into anyone except The Swamp Thing. Trails are a little moist and deceivingly end when least expected. Nevertheless it's a great spot and open space. Tune into swamp radio and marvel how the swamp people erected their radio towers.
