Confirmed from Tubbs Hill'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.
Picturesque, lakefront 120-acre park with native vegetation & trails for hiking.
What runners say about Tubbs Hill
“A quick and easy hike around a beautiful scenic point in the edge of the lake.”
“A quick and easy hike around a beautiful scenic point in the edge of the lake.”
If you're only going to do one thing in CDA, do this! The main hike is a big loop around but you can cut through the middle for a more challenging hike. There are side paths all over and many ways to get into the water. Many people were swimming or just relaxing in the water watching the sunset.
Great hike right in the center of town, but can still feel quiet and remote. Fairly easy but still a hike with some rocky parts and climbs. Amazing views throughout!
Beautiful hike along the lake. Takes around one hour with lots of photo stops. Easy hike along a dirt path, some rocks, and some muddy sections after a rain. There is also a beach not far down the trail if you go counter clockwise!
Beautiful views during this two mile circle hike. Not difficult to do but there are some slippery rocks in some spots. My four year old made it by holding my hand through some parts they were difficult for here and my 71 year father had no problems.
