Salt Run Trail
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
Rocky footing is the primary hazard here — the trail surface stays uneven for long stretches, and exposed roots are easy to catch a toe on, especially in leaf-covered fall conditions.
No dogs allowed on this trail, so leave your hiking buddy at home or choose a different route in the park.

Pro Tips
Start from the Kendall Lake Shelter trailhead off Quick Road — the parking lot is small but rarely full, and you'll have easy access to restrooms before heading out.
Wear boots or trail shoes with ankle support, not sneakers. The rocks and roots along the middle section are relentless, and wet conditions turn them into a slip-and-slide.
Hike the loop counterclockwise to tackle the hillier, rockier sections while your legs are fresh and save the gentler stretch along Kendall Lake for the cool-down finish.
