Confirmed from Trailhead Blowing Springs Back 40'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.
Area with kid-friendly hiking, plus mountain biking trails.
What runners say about Trailhead Blowing Springs Back 40
“Blowing Springs is a beautiful destination for family outings and has many trails for hiking or biking.”
The trails out in this area are so pretty and flow through the nature so awesome 😎
The Back 40 Loop is a great mountain bike trail. It's well designed and great fun.
These trails were very tough for me but I enjoyed them and cannot wait to go back
We love hiking the back 40. The trail is easily accessible from so many places and is full of easy, as well as challenging, places to hike. Just pick the level of hike or bike trail difficulty and head out. Is so close to our house we hike several times a week. Not very busy but we do see a few people each time we go.
