Confirmed from Anglers Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Leafy park on the Dan River with a boat ramp, walking/biking trails, a picnic shelter & free Wi-Fi.
What runners say about Anglers Park
“The trails are well maintained, the new rock garden is amazing as well!”
“While I was there I also rode the paved Dan river greenway up to Dan Daniel park which was very scenic alongside the river and through 'ghost tree island'.”
Lots of hiking trails and bike trails. Large walking/riding track. Soccer field. Nice little park tucked away out in no where.
Anglers Park is definitely the holy grail for local biking, hiking, jogging and walking. There are so many trails to explore. The trails are labeled well and are well taking care of. There is also a paved trail which provides an amazing scenic bike ride or walk.
This is always a nice place to go. Nice trails, nice views of the river, great fishing and excellent boat ramp access. They have added alot to this "park" to make it a cozy place to just sit and take in nature or enjoy a bike ride or walk.
Amazing trails and views, but be cautious about getting lost. The trail markers aren't very good, and if you don't pay attention, you could get lost if you are unfamiliar. Being from Florida, this was an amazing change in scenery, and I had an absolute blast by myself running the trails.
