Confirmed from Prairie Grass 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 Prairie Grass Trailhead
Flat blacktop paved bike trail. It's 10 miles from London to South Charleston. There's a parking lot and shelter house at the trail head
A great little spot to spend the night if you're travelling along the trail. Within 10 minutes of arriving a volunteer from FMCTP arrived to explain how to register our presence, and also how to get the access code for the washroom (which is locked during the night). We felt very safe knowing there was security.
Nice parking lot and covered picnic area and a bathroom! The bathroom is a small brick building with running water and flushing toilet. This has a beautiful grassy area with lots of trees. They even have two raised platforms for tents.
