Confirmed from York Reservoir Trailhead'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 York Reservoir Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (6 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

A very beautiful place to hike or ride mountain bikes. There is a main trail with many side trails branching off so you will have plenty of ground to explore

★★★★★ — Kyle , Apr 2023

Love to take a walk here to top of trail. Trees surround the old wooden lookout, might get a view when leaves have fallen. Not too long or difficult a walk for my little dog. This is his reward after he gets his nails trimmed at the groomer in Jacobus.

★★★★★ — Wendy , Oct 2024
