Clarification needed

I nominated the following location that I thought would surely be accepted since it is a walking trail. But I got the rejection based on that the location couldn't be verified. I'm either misunderstanding the rejection, or did I get a bad reviewer? The location is listed on Google Maps. The trail is obvious on the map as well. I don't get it. Please let me know what I can do to get it accepted. I'm attaching screen shots of my nomination, the rejection email,, and Google maps.
Thanks.

It takes more than "1 bad reviewer" to reject a nomination, the consensus is that somewhere between 30 and 50 people at a minimum need to review a submission before a decision is calculated by the Niantic system.
As it stands, I would have given this a 3* (=acceptable) rating for location as I can see enough clues on the photos. To improve your chances on resubmission, either make a photosphere and upload it to Google maps ot take the supporting photo from the car park so that a little more of the surrounding show and the POI is easier to place
Maybe try to do a photosphere. This looks perfectly fine and it being tagged would of been enough for me to approve it
Did your nomination's location have streetview? If not, it looks like some people aren't sure if they see it on map view. I would also reccomend to make photosphere to be sure it will get accepted, it should be enough :)
You can make photosphere using Google Street View App on your phone, it's very easy to use :)
I think the reviewers in your area are morons. There's more than enough evidence to reasonably prove this is where you claim it is. Did you upgrade this or leave it local?
How do you do a photosphere?
And I haven't been a reviewer long enough to get an upgrade yet, so it was just left up to local reviewers.
You can do photospheres with the Google Street View app. There's plenty of tutorials on the Internet on how to do it.
