Confirmed from Sterchi Farm Trailhead'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.
Park featuring trails, a river ramp, and picnic tables, plus restrooms.

Nice area to walk on trail Has less parking and more grass. The area has been redone. New walkways and access for water. New parking by boat ramp and redone the grass by parking spaces. Restrooms are kept nice and clean.
