Confirmed from Ogden Mine Railroad Trail Access' 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 Ogden Mine Railroad Trail Access

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.

Beautiful trail for walking and biking. Lots of birds through the pond and swampy areas. Use bug spray! I ran the trail. It wasn't great for me, too rocky, but if you have sturdy shoes it's a nice run. Lots of shade.

★★★★★ — Natalie , Jul 2025

Great spot, easy trail, found a couple of geocaches too. Hurricane Debbie is gone and the weather today is fantastic !!!
