Confirmed from Black Hoof 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.
A 160-acre park featuring diverse wildlife, trails, picnic shelter, playground & lake activities.

First time visiting this park and the trails are long and winding and great for exercise. The lake is big enough to take a small boat or canoe out. They also have a few playground areas for kids. Overall it's A+.

Such a beautiful and well maintained park! Rode my first e-bike here! Loved all the trails and the water features. This is definitely one of my favorite parks in the area!
Pretty area and nice short trail. I enjoyed seeing the dam. The restrooms were clean and water fountains worked. It's all pretty well maintained
