Confirmed from Biscuit Run 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.
What runners say about Biscuit Run Park
“Very clean being not open long.”
“Beautiful location, ponds, and tree coverd long trails.”
I see I’m the first to leave a written review so I’ll do my best to be thorough. Justly evaluating something usually requires historical perspective and this park has quite a history that should help you appreciate it.
Lovely park with miles of trails, even in the snow. Comprehensive map, benches, Pit toilet restroom and spacious parking lot. Cannot wait to see it once all of the development phases are complete.
Great park, lots of potential! Walked about 5 miles, haven’t mountain biked it yet. What i saw was some nice single track appropriate for beginners. Sounds like there are some more challenging runs already built or coming soon.
It was ok for walking. Pretty muddy. Basically a newly cut mulched trail in thick woods.
