Confirmed from Sac & Fox 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.
Hiking spot featuring forested paths with an option for walking or biking.
What runners say about Sac & Fox Trailhead
“The Sac & Fox trail has always been a beautiful trail that I’ve grown up hiking, biking, and fishing near.”
Easy walking or biking. With several offshoot trails for a little more of a challenge. Many species of birds and vegetation. Great views of Indian Creek and Cedar River.
Awesome linear park. There's a gravel trail for bikes and walkers and a great singletrack for bikers and hikers.
Easy hiking trail with option of gravel trail or wooded trail that also has mountain biking features of wooden ramps. Beautiful scenery in the summer & fall (these pics are early March) with a creek running through. Easy to find with parking at both ends of the trail. I do not know the total distance. We did a 4.
Pretty good trail to ride mountain bikes. You either have to have a mt bike or fat tire bike to ride this trail though. Alot of places is loose sand/gravel. There is no paved lanes. Seems to be pretty well up keep and I even saw a few more off road trails for the more adventurous.
