Confirmed from Polly Ann Trail - South 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 Polly Ann Trail - South Trailhead
Polly Ann Trail is very well maintained, well marked. My family bikes regularly along 0-mile (Joslyn Rd) north to the golf course and you can easily swing over to YATES for treats, ice cream, cold drinks or Canterbury...
Great trail. Parked at elementary school just south of trail head. Rode 7 miles to downtown Oxford for a quick bite and rode back. Need to be careful of riders coming towards you as trail narrows in spots.
Very peaceful, mostly manicured trail. For biking this is an ideal trail to go from Orion Township to Oxford and beyond. For running, it's good and bad. Some areas are less manicured than others and can lead to some gait variation.
Crushed gravel trail paved only for a stretch in Oxford proper. Great long stretch to ride on, gets pretty rural the father north you go. I parked at the elementary school just down the road.
