Confirmed from Boling 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.
Recreational oasis featuring multiple athletic fields, a children's playground & nature trails.
What runners say about Boling Park
“We went to the powwow here on Mother’s Day had a great time kids loved it nice clean park”
“Beautiful river views and semi accessible areas to the river from the trails.”
“Peaceful and beautiful along the river.”
Nice secluded park for short distance, no elevation walking or running. The trail portion is actually located past the furthest parking lot from the entrance (not where it is showing on the map) and is gravel-based for most of the way except the very back part.
Beautiful! A hidden gem....please be aware you have options to excercise on a track. If you choose to hike there is a clear sign that explains hiking after 10 am since there is an active hunting season at the moment in the area! For safety reasons it is recommended to wear bright colored clothes 🥰
Great trail. Kid friendly and even has a natural track that you can use if you don't feel like venturing onto the path. The boy scout bridges are beautiful and in very strategic spots. Can't wait to go back.
It's a great place to hike, if you don't know better, you're in the mountains!
Trail conditions & character
“It is a bit difficult to see the river from the trail if there is any foliage, but there is one portion that has an open view near the beginning.”
“I used the park as the trailhead for the Sutallee Trace White, Orange, and Green loop trail 👣”
“No dogs allowed in that area unfortunately, but I can appreciate it still.”
“Beautiful river views and semi accessible areas to the river from the trails.”
