Confirmed from Rock Point Property'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.

GREAT EASY hike in Burlington. Was staying visiting family and wanted to get on some trails in the AM. This was a decent hike. It takes you out to a lookout over the lake that is incredible. The highlight for me was the fog over the lake with mountains in the background.

★★★★★ — Travis , Sep 2021

We loved this area! Nice little hike with wonderful views. The trails have good markers and maps at each intersection. We did somehow end up turning the wrong way and ended up by North Beach when we were trying to go back to the parking lot. Great short hike with beautiful views.

★★★★★ — Rachel , Jul 2023

What a hidden gem! Love the location, the trails, views, and maps all over the place. Some uphills and downhills so be prepared, but nothing too hard. Excellent shade for hot sunny days.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
