We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Washington Street Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Washington Street Trailhead
“Beautiful scenery awesome place to ride 😎🚴♂️👍😁”
I hiked the Dakota trail this morning and it is very cool. From the Washington St parking area north to the trail, up,south,up north,up and the south for a while, it is a good workout. Approx 2.5 miles round trip I think. Views are amazing.

Love these trails in the spring and fall. Too hot in the summer/no shade.
