Confirmed from Pickett 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.
Family-friendly waterside area featuring hiking trails, water access, picnic spots and a cemetery.
What runners say about Pickett Trail
“Great trail to bring kids on, but there are a few cliffs that have stunning views, but you need to be careful near them.”
“A few hours swimming after a tennis ball makes for a quiet and sleepy DOG!”
“Easy trail some mostly dirt trail some rock stairs, wood stairs, steel stairs.”
Easy trail some mostly dirt trail some rock stairs, wood stairs, steel stairs. Short bridge . Pretty easy, we are a little on the hefty side but it was easy enough for us. We also took our dog. Take atleast one bottle of water each and some for your dog.
If you walk to the end of the Blue Hole, this trail is tucked away. It's an incredibly easy hike with gorgeous views!!
This is one of my favorite trails in Georgetown. It's short enough I can hike to the end and back in less than an hour, taking pictures and enjoy the beauty of the trail. It is a moderate hike, with a few rock steps, and one or two step climbs, with steps. Dogs that are leashed are welcome to enjoy the trail with you.
This is a short but challenging little hike. Very nice views of the river.

“Dogs that are leashed are welcome to enjoy the trail with you.”
“Shade and sun, up hill and downhill climbs, lovely views along the river.”
“A few hours swimming after a tennis ball makes for a quiet and sleepy DOG!”
