Confirmed from Western Greenway Trailhead: Turkey Ridge 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.
What runners say about Western Greenway Trailhead: Turkey Ridge Trail
Turkey Ridge Trail - First time there. I was pleasantly surprised the trail traverses the Wildwood Ozark type mountains and gets to an elvation rivaling the highest points in the area. The trail is moderate and 2 miles long.
Fun little trail. Nice shade, steeper than we thought but not bad. We’ve heard there’s war artifacts here but we apparently didn’t know exactly where to look 😂 Really pretty hike, great for families.
Fantastic 2 mile loop. You can hear the highway nearby for a bit, but it's not too distracting and it's absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and serene. I saw 3 deer about 30 yards away! The trail path itself is rugged, rocky & rough, which I prefer in a trail. 1st half is uphill then back down. Loved it!
A nice 2 mile loop, when I hiked it in early February you had nice views through the trees (could see Hidden Valley in the distance). A nice addition to other hikes in the area or if you are just passing through and want to stretch your legs. Trail was in good condition.
