Confirmed from Boettler 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.

We LOVE Boettler Park so much! They have beautiful trails and fishing!!! My nephew caught his first catfish in the back pond! Great family park even my teens get excited and that’s saying something!

★★★★★ — Tara , Feb 2023

This park is AWESOME!! It has 2 separate playgrounds for older and younger kids. The pkayground for toddlers has a fence with gate all the way around enclosing it for safety. It also has a soft mat type ground.

★★★★★ — Heather , May 2023

Great for kids. Awesome playground, fishing pond, woods to walk in with your dogs, Frisbee golf, paved walking paths, a wildlife conservation to walk thru (no dogs aloud), tennis courts, basketball courts, flushing toilets, etc.

★★★★★ — Ohiogardengoddess , May 2022

This is the best park with something for everyone. Paved walking paths, woodland hiking trails, fishing ponds, pickleball courts, shelters, restrooms, playgrounds, historic schoolhouse, cemetery and barn. A store barn where local breads, meat, cheese and other seasonal items can be purchased.

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.
