Confirmed from Tara Drummond 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.

Update: Aug 9, 2022 I was able to walk on the Trail today by myself. I Really enjoyed it. It was Nice and Serene. Loved all the Trees. I really liked this Walking / Bike trail. It can be very intimidating 1st bc there are alot of bikers. You have to really follow bike traffic rules on this trail.

★★★★★ — Courtney , Jun 2017

This trailhead has lots of parking, and a single working water fountain with easy access to the silver comet. There are lots of shaded benches and sitting areas available. The bathrooms are barebones - steel toilets, no toilet seats, no paper towels, and not very clean but they get the job done.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
