HomeFeatures › Trails with Trailhead Parking

Trails with Trailhead Parking

A trail is only as accessible as its trailhead. Lots at popular trails fill early on weekends — turn up after eight or nine on a Saturday morning and you may be circling or parking on the verge — while the same trailhead sits empty at six on a Tuesday. Some trailheads charge, and trails inside state parks often want a day-use fee or an annual pass, so it is worth checking before you drive out. On a point-to-point trail, parking is also what decides which section you can realistically run.

15,471 trails in this directory carry this feature, across 51 states. Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and what runners wrote in reviews — trails change, lights and gates follow the park's hours, so check a recent review before a long drive.
