Confirmed from Symmes Creek Trailhead #1'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 Symmes Creek Trailhead #1
A beautiful trail for the no-frills hiker. The stream that runs along it is great for fishing, including rock bass, crappie, and small mouth bass. Ticks are concern, so be sure to dress accordingly.
