Confirmed from Scioto Trail State Park Caldwell Lake Firetower 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 Scioto Trail State Park Caldwell Lake Firetower Trailhead
I hiked a different trail at Scioto Trails State Park. The Caldwell Lake, Fire Tower Trail does start at Caldwell Lake but ends at a park road that has a sign saying fire tower and an a arrow pointing left. Not a big deal and a short distance and I made it to the fire tower.
