In its entirety, the trail is roughly 25 miles in total distance and passes through or close to numerous trailhead parking access sites. It can make an excellent long route in the park, or can easily be broken into smaller pieces by utilizing connector trails to form routes of shorter distances.

Other trailheads with easy access to Trail 25 include the Equestrian trailhead, Morin, Marchand, the ORV area, Pine Bluff, Pine Bluff Road, Carlson, Deep Creek, McLellan Overlook, Seven Mile, and Wilber trailheads.
