Confirmed from Power Line Trail at Fort Bragg'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 Power Line Trail at Fort Bragg
Last time I ran this trail was back in 2015, it looks a little different now of course with the new highway. The trail it self is still the same sandy, bum kicking trail. If complete the whole thing it’s about six miles. Just be careful especially after it rains the sand cliff becomes soft and watch your step.
It's a good trail for a good run, if you wanna run on an actual trail rather than a road or side walk.
There're so many side paths that if you aren't careful, you'll get lost. The texture is always changing from sand to gravel to clay to dirt and there're plenty of hills. Overall, it's a very versatile trail and my all time favorite on post
Very good running trail. It has a combination of dirt, sand, small hills, and hard surfaces to challenge you and help you build up your endurance. It's a little over two miles one way from Canopy Lane to Longstreet.
