Confirmed from Silver Stream 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.

“Very nice trail, easy to follow, well maintained and hope to get back here one day.”
Always a nice walk. The trail is well maintained. Sad to see how low the water is though. Of course that has nothing to do with the people who work hard to keep the trail in good shape!
Tick season in full bloom found several all over dogs even with prevention treatment of seresto collar. Trails are gorgeous though. Be ready for a two mile walk on short one.
Very nice trail, easy to follow, well maintained and hope to get back here one day. So peaceful.
A nice preserved tucked away. Very clean. All the trails are well maintained. They could get a bit wet after rain. I hiked the main loop which is about a mile and a half. There's another loop that I did not get to. There are four geocaches that you can find in the park.
