Confirmed from Strand 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.
What runners say about Strand Trailhead
“It's a beautiful area amongst many in the Parklands.”
This is a nice location it's in the midpoint I'd always park at Pope lick or Turkey Run is always too far to walk over there so I found this parking lot today about halfway, this is a nice location it's off the beaten path great parking lot very few people.
Lots of parking. Nice place for a couple of out and backs. Southbound seemed more shaded.
