Confirmed from The 400 State Trail Headquarters' 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.

“Five stars for the well maintained trail.”

We stopped in to buy a trail pass and the lady was incredibly friendly. She made sure we knew which way we were headed on the trail and that we had a map and she wished us safe travels down the trail. As we pulled away we could see them watching us from inside.

Started our trip here. Lady behind the desk was very knowledgeable and friendly. Set us up with T-shirts and trail maps

★★★★★ — Jeff , Sep 2025

Great place to get information and trail passes. The lady was very helpful and recommended some different maps.

★★★★★ — Elise , Feb 2024

Very nice building at the trail head. Bathrooms and place to sit for a bit if you desire. Plenty of parking.

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.
