Confirmed from Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail Pughsville 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 Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail Pughsville Trailhead
“My wife and I walked the whole trail this morning and it's very well kept.”
“This is a beautiful little trail with some nice scenery.”
“The trail is mostly shaded, paved with asphalt and graded high enough so that standing water really isn't a problem even after a heavy rain.”
“I came with my beagle to walk this trail and I can say we were both pretty satisfied, it’s mostly quiet, relaxing and plenty of shade.”
This is a beautiful little trail with some nice scenery. It's not very long and is a little close to a residential area, but other than that it provides a nice little walk in nature.
Rode the main part of the trail today by bike. Paved trail through wooded areas, back of neighborhoods and along side of fields. I enjoyed the casual ride. Others on the trail were running, walking, several strollers as well. Would highly recommend.
Per my GPS, this was 7 miles round trip from end to end. It’s shaded about 50% to 60% depending on time of day. The path is straight with no elevation and paved. Porta potty at each end.
I really like this trail! It’s good for walking, running, or biking. I took my friend’s dog there for a nice walk and I was impressed. It was well kept, very clean, and easy to find. If you’re walking it’s about a half an hour (probably less) to walk from the trailhead to the road and back.
