Confirmed from Squire Point Trail Head'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 Squire Point Trail Head
“Beautiful veiws and bridges, a long trail but worth the journey.”
Well groomed trails through a nice wooded area overlooking Coralville Reservoir. There are some hills as well as workout equipment / stations along the trail. Dog friendly. Can be muddy at times. Parking lots is adequately sized as well.
It's a nice, easy hike. It's well shaded, but definitely bring bug spray. It didn't take me very long, maybe about an hour, although I walked pretty slow. If you want a quick afternoon hike this is the one for you.
Beautiful views along this free trail. ⚠️ You need to be sure-footed as this is a 'real' trail with roots sticking up, uneven places, and muddy/slippery if there has been any moisture. Parking is near the start/end of the trail.
Great trails with beautiful views of the lake year round! In the warmer months we go creek stomping along the tributaries too
