Description

Several recent additions to the Moody Park trail network are currently unnamed or unmarked. The trails shown here depict the current trail layout with the exception of a few connector routes. The Claremont Parks & Recreation Department is working with park visitors and trail users to make trail network improvements, including naming and signing of trail segments.  

Indian Trail: Combination of single* and double track.** Moderately difficult with significant elevation change. Gravity Cavity is difficult to bike or walk. Indian Trail Connector provides an alternate route. Approximately 4.25 miles.  

Indian Trail Connector: Short and easy Gravity Cavity detour. Approximately 0.5 miles.  

Tall Pines Trail: Wide open access road through impressive tall pine stand. Easy to negotiate. Predominately double track. Approximately 2.5 miles.  

Track Trail: Borders the railroad tracks on the backside of the park. Easy to negotiate. Predominately double track. Approximately 1.25 miles.  

Too Cool Trail: Predominately single track. Little elevation gain but some challenging topographic and man-made features. Moderate to difficult. Approximately 2.25 miles.

(*single track: narrow trail, 1 person width; **double track: wider trail, 2+ person width)
