Confirmed from Betz-Tiger Point Preserve'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.
Natural destination featuring trails for kayaking, fishing and hiking as well as a picnic area with covered tables.

Great place to see nature. First time in a long time here. Edward's creek has handicap parking and nice little trail & pier. Great for picnics and fishing. Seen peacock, little crabs, blue bird, hawk. Seen two cute little hogs, but couldn't get a pic before they went into woods. Plenty of trails and parking.
