Confirmed from Prairie Center Hiking Trail North Trail head'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 Prairie Center Hiking Trail North Trail head
My first time there today, did a 4 mile run. Could have easily done more distance there are a bunch of route options. It's a mix of gravel and grass. I enjoyed running here and will go back. It snowed recently so got some pretty cool pictures.
Awesome scenic trail goes across a few creeks and leads to a good sized pond
