Confirmed from Pond Mountain 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.
What runners say about Pond Mountain Trail
Beautiful setting. Easy to moderate trails. A hidden gem. Get ready for a treat if you plan to explore.
This trail was super nice! NOTICE! the point pinned here on google is not accurate! The entrance and parking are just a bit more to the south. 250meters or so.. It was beautiful and green (in september), the big round tour took us a bit over 3 hours, and the nature was so quiet and welcoming.
Plan your run at Pond Mountain Trail
The practical stuff
- AccessDawn to dusk — the gates close, so do not plan a run that finishes after dark
- 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.
