We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Pickerington North Cross Country Trail 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 Pickerington North Cross Country Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

The trails are used by Pickerington North H.S for cross country training as I was told by a resident walking their dog along the trail.There is also a small creek that goes through the woods. Also the trail connects to a path on the back part of Hickory Lakes.
