Confirmed from Viking Trail'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.

Very beautiful, paved trail. Right beside the woods most of the time. It's total length is around 3 miles. It leads from the main campus to the mountain campus. Berry college is a gated college that stops allowing visitors to enter after 7pm.
