Confirmed from Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail Kings Hwy 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.

We spent a beautiful day on the trail. I love how this is a rails to Trail success. It's a super smooth Trail that's perfect for walking, biking, pushing a stroller, even rollerblading if you're of a mind. It was a gorgeous day and there were quite a few families out enjoying the day, walking there dog and bike riding.
This is one of the great ideas the city has come up with for the residents and visitors to the city trail. It's a great attraction for those of us who enjoy the great outdoors. My family and I are fortunate to be able to access the trail just fifty feet beyond our property.
This is a great paved trail to take. It's about 3.5 miles one-way. You will find ppl running, biking, walking, and dog strolling. If you bring your furry friend bags and disposable station is available at the Driver parking lot where we parked.
