Confirmed from NPTA South 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.
What runners say about NPTA South Trailhead
“The trails are well maintained, a great place to hike.”
“This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful trails I've been on in the area.”
“Great for walking, running, or biking.”
“Nice size parking lot, very well marked trails, liked the creek too”
A favorite hiking spot for our family. The trails are well maintained, a great place to hike.
Love these trails. Great for families to hike and bike on, tons of trails ranging I'm difficultly. Lucky to have this trail system in the town I call home.
This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful trails I've been on in the area. It has a bit of a "Shire" feel from LOTR, especially when you walk through "Fern Valley" on the creekside trail. I had so much fun jogging through some of the narrow twists and turns of a portion of that trail.
Great trail system. Good views of creek, lake, beavers, eagles, snakes, dingos, and more. (Make sure your dog isn't drinking or swimming in the sewer outlet stream).

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadparking — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
