Confirmed from Utah Ridge Pond'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 Utah Ridge Pond
“Scenic little pond that is a great place to begin a couple of trails of the Baileys Trail System.”
“Peaceful and quite and great place to go to get your mindset right.”
Scenic little pond that is a great place to begin a couple of trails of the Baileys Trail System. I hiked the Bullfrog Loop Trail and the Holler Collar Trail. These are well maintained trails but at times narrow and some steep areas especially on the Holler Collar Trail. The views along the trails are beautiful.
Shhhhhhhh! Don't tell anyone.... It's crazy beautiful. Super quiet with not many people using it (for now). Right now there are about 4 miles of looping trails that bring you back to this point. Perfect place for a picnic. Hiking trails all year long. Fairly hilly but not strenuous.
GREAT place to stop for lunch while riding Baileys Trail System! Takes a good hour plus for a group of kiddos to get up here and now there's a picnic table! There's also parking here which will make for a great starting point as Baileys continues to expand.
