We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of P Hill Trail - Access Point yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 P Hill Trail - Access Point

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice trail with really pretty views. Surface is quite broken up, so recommend good shoes. Lots of optional paths.

★★★★☆ — David , May 2026

Very steep incline and unstable dirt and rocks. Good for experienced hikers.
