Confirmed from Prairie Creek Trails' 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 Creek Trails
“Only just found about this trail, this place is a great place to start jogging and running after just recently started exersicing again.”
Only just found about this trail, this place is a great place to start jogging and running after just recently started exersicing again. With a nice little spot along the reservoir where I could cool off in the water, this will be one of my go to places for fitness.
Great trail spot for running, hiking or biking. The main trail is gravel and about 3 miles long. The mountain bike trails are dirt, much longer and hillier. Beautiful spot for outdoor activities.
This is for hiking and riding bikes. We live not to far from here and we love walking or riding bikes. They're always doing stuff to improve the area.
This is a great place to hike. I really like the fact that I can take a short walk in the woods, or by following the connecting path to the west, take a much longer hike. All the way to Richmond, if I hop on the Cardinal Greenway!
Trail conditions & character
“Quite a beautiful place withany family fun things to do.”
“I tend to stay on the wider gravel trails, but there are also mountain bike trails that wander all over the property.”
“Nice little trailhead, but it could benefit from a toilet facility.”
