Confirmed from Billy Bob Garrison Field'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.

A clean local park that boasts a baseball field and covered picnic tables.

“Fun for all ages of kids.”

We love coming to the park. We bring our 2 Furbabies & our (7) Grandchildren. The walk along the river is so nice & it's always clean.

★★★★★ — Rose , Jun 2023

Kiddos love this place We go here just about every day after school . Great place to let them run off that extra stream and energy they have.. and it is located close enough to the Carter county sheriff's offices that not a lot of trouble here

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.

🚻 Restrooms 3 mentions

“Nice park with playground , ball fields picnic sheds and restrooms.”
