Confirmed from The Field Open Space'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.

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“Good place to walk the dog away from traffic; pretty views of mountains.”

I went for a casual Sunday walk. The trail is calm and clean and pets are allowed on a leash. The walk took me about an hour at a slow pace. I recommend parking by the yellow farm house. Enjoy!

Love this place!!!! Everything here is so pleasing to the eye. Because I live farily close by and there are so many parks and other activities in the area, my family goes here all the time. It is a great spot to snap some photos or enjoy nature.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 9 mentions

“Well organized with many vendors, car show, dog show, several stages, arts and crafts, food.”
