Confirmed from St Clair Hiking Trail rest area'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 St Clair Hiking Trail rest area
“Rustic, well kept, friendly fellow hikers beautiful any time of year.”

Great somewhat hidden spot that I use mostly for XC skiing. Usually only a few other people here. Easy to get in a 3 mile trek. One nice hill for the more adventurous. Most of the photos are easy to correlate with the included picture of the map.
Beautiful trail and well maintained. Highly recommended for running, hiking or a walk with the family. Just be aware of the mosquitoes, they are everywhere.
Trails are a little over grown. Resting area is beautiful.good spot to get out and stretch while kayaking. Even the porter potty is well maintained. Smells good too. No joke! Lol
Excellent trail for families. We enjoy going there with our two children and our dog. Its absolutely beautiful in the fall season 😍
