Confirmed from Stinson Creek 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“It's a beautiful place to spend some time with your thoughts.”

It's a nice trail to go for a run without having to worry about cars, for the most part. Some parts you can almost forget your running through town, which is always nice. I always run into deer when I come early in the morning. Can also spot some crayfish and small fish in the creek.

Trail is quite and beautiful. Great place for a walk. Dog park is nearby so dogs frequent the trail

★★★★★ — Maranda , Oct 2023

Nice walking trail that kind of makes a 5 mile long "U" down the west side of Fulton, from west to east just south of downtown, and back up the east side of town. It's all paved and easy to walk.
