Confirmed from Pine Gate Spur'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 Pine Gate Spur
“Beautiful hiking trails, really good if u like to walk between woods for sometime.”
This trail is part of the John A. Phillips Preserve. The trail head is behind the Pine Gate apartments along Route 18, behind the red garbage containers. You can also park your car there.
Beautiful hiking trails!! I can't believe I've lived at pine gate for 2 years and didn't know this was here! You can take the trails all the way to john a phillips park too ☺

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
