Confirmed from Pinhoti Trail AL CR24 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 Pinhoti Trail AL CR24 Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (27 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“It's a beautiful stretch of the Pinhoti through little gorges.”

Hiking north bound from CR24 you will see several waterfalls. This sectinos makes a nice overnight section from CR24 to US78, about 15 miles with a good campsite beside a creek about 8.5 miles in.

★★★★★ — Michael , Feb 2020

A bit busy here, but a shoulder to park on and no problem leaving your ride for an overnighter. Great hike

★★★★★ — Drew , Aug 2020

Nice moderate hiking trail well marked. Some creek crossing need bridges but are passable.

★★★★☆ — Terry , Feb 2022

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
