Confirmed from Weatherford Trailhead for Lake Mineral Wells Trailway'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 Weatherford Trailhead for Lake Mineral Wells Trailway
We walked the trail at night and it was beautiful. We had headlamps which I highly recommend. Trail is not lit up and it is very dark out there.
The trail has plenty of trees for shade. You can go for a short walk or a long hike. It is by far my favorite trail in the area
Amazing place to get in a few miles. Wildlife is out here, snakes, owls, squirrels. Quiet at times, it’s nice out here
Great place to ride, hike, walk and enjoy the outdoors safely. Its getting almost impossible to ride or walk anywhere safely. Im glad we have this for everyone to enjoy the outdoors safely.
