Confirmed from Bemidji City 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.

Large park featuring a softball complex & disc golf, plus cross-country ski trails & ice rinks.

“It was even cleaned up after the recent storms, so very well maintained.”

There's just a ton of things to do all in that little area, you know? you can skate @ the park you can curl you can ice-skate and then you can ice-skate outside you can play softball, or walk to the frolf course.

★★★★★ — Will , Nov 2019

Nice small park. Clean and well maintained restrooms nearby. Our 5 year old enjoyed the playground. Our dogs enjoyed the paved walking trail and the trails for the frisbee golf. Recommend.

★★★★☆ — Nicole , May 2023

Great trail in the park. It was even cleaned up after the recent storms, so very well maintained. Guy on the mower could stop the blades when passing trail users though.

★★★★★ — Allen , Aug 2025

One of the best parks in town for young children. Great visit for all families and people visiting/walking downtown.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
