We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of The Powerline Trail (trailhead 1 westbound) yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

The practical stuff
- AccessHours vary — hours are not posted for this trail, so check before an early or late run

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
