Confirmed from St. Francis Woods 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 St. Francis Woods Trail
Great short loop hike. Easy for kids and pets. A little climb to the ridge. Try to stay on trail as it backs up to some private property. The entry and exit points are pretty close so parking in fron of one trail opening will be easy to return when you exit. Time: 30 to 60 minutes
Plan your run at St. Francis Woods Trail
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
