Confirmed from Old Stone Fort Loop 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 Old Stone Fort Loop Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (6 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful trail close to the freeway and the town. Lovely opportunities to play in the water, sea waterfalls and have the entire family come along. Options for shorter and longer hikes,

★★★★★ — Benjamin , Nov 2024

This trailhead give a variety of options ranging from easy, to medium, to difficult. There are 3 loops that run around the park, the one in the center is easy, and the one closer to the falls is difficult. The one closer to the falls is worth the effort, the falls are beautiful.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
