Confirmed from Soaring Eagle Regional Park'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.
Natural area offering trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and other outdoor activities.

“Devil's Slide > Babe's Way Connector > North Trail > Sleigh Ride > Double D > (T) The Trails were well maintained, good condition, well-signed and the surroundings clean.”
“While exploring this beautiful and well marked trail system, I was fortunate to discover a vibrant red fungi, a scarlet elf cup stuck out like a sore thumb among the forest floor.”
“No big hills, the majority of the hike is shaded from the natural canopy.”

“Very easy hike, tough to be in trail if you want to hike the longest - really nice that there are forks if you want to cut the hike short and return back.”
My goal in visiting this park during January was to seek out new forms of fungi, certainly didn't disappoint! A notable feature at Soaring Eagle regional park would be the areas where the scenery is completely teeming with moss! I can only imagine the landscape during the other seasons.
Very complex network of bike trails and hiking paths. The park is large, heavily wooded and there are many miles of trails. The mountain bike trails are pretty technical. Some steep hills but mostly rocks, slippery roots, boulders and tight turns.
05apr2022 TUE, 40s_F 09:45 -to- low 50s_F 11:45, our (Swee and me) second visiting/rambling Soaring Eagle Regional Park .. its still as lovely. And this morning, we had a fun time appreciating the beauty of mushrooms, moss, lichens, and flowers 😄 We did the route CW: (T) > Double D > Sleigh Ride > Pipeline Trail > ..
This is a nice park, mostly forest trails, wetlands and a couple small streams. Popular for biking in summer. The parking lot was a sheet of ice today, so was the main trail, the smaller side trails were ok, with some snow and little ice.
