Confirmed from Outdoor Trails' 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.
Shop offering camping gear, backpacks and clothing for outdoor activities like hiking and climbing.
What runners say about Outdoor Trails
Outdoor trails is an exceptional store for those who do remote work or are avid campers and hikers. In my case, I didnt have time to wait for back ordered goods for a trip into a very cold part of eastern Europe. I was fortunate to be referred here.
Great place for outdoor needs. Awesome owners and sales associate that are super knowledgeable. Not to mention, they have delicious trail snacks and meals!!
I have been out of the long trek backpacking scene for many years now. Today the wife and I decided to go to outdoor trails get some new bags to get ready for the upcoming spring season. The selection, help from the associate (im so sorry I didn't catch his name!) And price point were great!
Very knowledgeable staff. I learned more about hiking shoes during my visit in 30 minutes than I ever thought! Very factual and trying to make the customer feel comfortable about what they need. Refreshing!

- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
