Confirmed from Story Walk 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 Story Walk Trail
This was a great trail for the kids, and so perfect situated next to the creek. The only downside was about halfway through the story trail loop, the trail splits in a few places, and if there was a sign indicating which way to finish the story trail on, it's gone missing.
Short loop through beautiful forest with small creek running through. Dirt path with bridges across the creek. Some areas are a little bit steep so it isn't stroller or wheelchair accessible. Plenty of shade from thick tall trees. There is a bike trail and other hiking trails that go further up the mountain nearby.
There are several different trails with I would say easy to moderate difficulty depending your physical abilities it's absolutely beautiful we plan to hike all the trails this spring weather permitting
