Confirmed from Old Belmont Swim Creek'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 Old Belmont Swim Creek
The trail, long abandoned since the 90s, has grown wild and rugged. By 2007, when I last ventured out, the path had become challenging, with creek crossings requiring waist-deep wading if you're around 5 to 5'8". Along the way to the creek, you'll encounter sections even deeper than the swimming area itself.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
