Confirmed from Paved Bicycle 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 Paved Bicycle Trailhead
“It also has a beautiful scenery with a well maintained routes.”
Fantastic walking trail. So quiet and peaceful. Very clean and maintained.
The only thing that made this not a 5 star trail was the lack of water to get a drink from. I loved how long the trail was, 14 miles and it was nicely paved. Oh, but there were signs that said look out for bears! That had me scared a little.
I want to give this less than 5 stars because this was an unexpectedly hard bike ride for us. OMG, my first time posting this type of review for a bike path! Getting old, I guess. I was so excited to find this very nice paved long loop style trail at the state park.
Nice paved route ideal place for walk/ running. The route has flat and hill areas making it great for training or hitting your exercise goals. It also has a beautiful scenery with a well maintained routes.
