Confirmed from Tusculum Trail Trailhead'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.
What runners say about Tusculum Trail Trailhead
“Easy walk, short trail, plenty of benches to rest on, and the hollowed trees are extremely cool!”
Nice walk, made it to the western terminus and walked along Edens Rd back to the parking area. Just over 2 miles.
Excellent place to chill out! Easy walk, short trail, plenty of benches to rest on, and the hollowed trees are extremely cool! Also, the addition of the trail signs is a nice touch, I'm a sucker for random knowledge, and I enjoyed finding each one like a scavenger hunt!
Nice, winding walking trail surrounded by trees complete with a small stream to the side. It connects to the larger trail that goes by the college via a bridge with a nice view of the nearby mountains.
Beautiful place to walk. Lovely stream running next to part of it. Easy for non athletic people to walk. The part running next to the stream is pretty level and a good time!
