Confirmed from Scouters Mountain Regional Trail'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 Scouters Mountain Regional Trail
The Mount Tabor of Happy Valley -- very sweet suburban walking loop, open sunrise to sunset, hardly anyone around.
It is so good to have protected nature spaces. The view is beautiful, the facilities are well maintained, and the trail is lovely. Picnic area even has electrical power outlets.
Nice to walk some new paths out this way...the whole area has changed soooo much nobody will recognize it!....parking is limited in the area so check out your map to enter.
