Confirmed from Stauffer Station 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.
Clean, paved pathways and woods draw walkers, runners and cyclists.
What runners say about Stauffer Station Park
“The parking lot is well maintained the bathrooms are pretty nice and there are a couple of picnic tables.”
“Gorgeous,wide open spaces.”
Beautiful trail! Serene and so many nice people running or walking. Great parking!
This is a trailhead for a portion of the Paul Henry Multi Use Trail. The parking lot is well maintained the bathrooms are pretty nice and there are a couple of picnic tables. This is a very urban pocket park/trailhead but well maintained and highly used.
Clean and safe paved walking, running or biking trail through countryside and woods. Wide and easily accessible for all levels and speeds. Leashed pet friendly. Onsite parking at both ends. Roughly 2.4mi roundtrip. One single stall restroom at the westernmost parking lot.
Had a wonderful walk today from Stauffer Station Park to 60th street and back on Kent Trails. A nice flat path that is paved and shaded with lots of nature.
