Confirmed from Black Creek 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 Black Creek Park
“Lovely trails, well maintained playground and a nice sledding mountain as well as cool spots to go fishing (pond and river) are some of the nice things about this gem.”
“Beautiful park lots of trails to walk and enjoy”
There's a ton of parks in and around Rochester but very few compare to Black Creek. Literally dozens of trails spanning miles upon miles of fields, woods, wetlands and recreation areas.
To sit by the Black Creek Park pond and just enjoy the view is how I invision paradise to be like... i love this park! Lovely trails, well maintained playground and a nice sledding mountain as well as cool spots to go fishing (pond and river) are some of the nice things about this gem.
Great Scenery and Trails. Went there a couple years back and enjoyed it! Will visit again. Only one problem: The Bees. There are many Bees along the trail in summer so I suggest you walk the trail in late spring or mid fall where there aren't as many bees. Overall Great experience
Once a working farm and the southwest corner a working orchard and tree farm is now a very large county park. Well maintained trails that are marked (but bring a map too). It contains a variety of land types from wetland to meadows to mature forests.
