Confirmed from Piedmont Ridge 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.
Popular trail featuring woods, inclines and prairie wildflowers.
What runners say about Piedmont Ridge Trail
Cute, short, easy trail that can be a little hard to find. Could easily bring a dog or your kids without much trouble*. The trail is on the far left side of the sign that says "Keeton Park.
The trail was clean. You have to park before the golf course entrance. Then, walk towards the wooden kiosk. It's a nice short trail for a quick walk.
Unexpected treat while waiting for husband to finish hitting some balls. Nice short hike on the trail with my dog. Other than the road noise and the DART train it was a pleasant walk.
i tried the other side of the road. park at Gateway park. walk towards the tennis courts. walk up the ridge and get a little lost. I loved it. so did bandit. see pictures of doggo 😊
