Confirmed from Orange 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 Orange Trail
“Beautiful trail with a nice view of the Ridley Creek River”
Beautiful, family friendly. Even on hot days the trail along the creek is heavily shaded by the trees. Our boys love this trail, lots to see. Would not advise if you are unable to walk on uneven pavement, most of the trails are covered in rocks.
There was plenty of parking at the trailhead when we arrived on Saturday morning but it was completely full when we left. The trail was not too crowded. It was a beautiful trail, not too muddy. Will be back!

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
