Confirmed from Blackberry Trail 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.
Clean park with a playground for kids and picnic tables.
What runners say about Blackberry Trail Park
“Clean and fun with a toddler area.”
“Blackberry Trail is a naturally beautiful paved trail that runs along Blackberry Creek.”
Blackberry Trail is a naturally beautiful paved trail that runs along Blackberry Creek. Despite being very close to a neighborhood and homes in view for most of the trail, the scenery is beautiful from the wildflowers to the creek. There's also a ton of rabbits along the trail too.
Very nice for casual biking and walking access to a Walgreens and aldi for snacks and drinks
