Confirmed from Braddocks 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 13 mentions

“Shade filled trails that are pretty easy, not too steep filled with tall trees, there is a scenic view that is fantastic.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“The energy of the park is calming, peaceful, & very serene.”

This place is GORGEOUS!! I love that it's tucked in at the end of a beautiful neighborhood. Yet, it seems so far removed. The energy of the park is calming, peaceful, & very serene. Trails aren't really marked. However, if you're a avid Hiker, You'll find Your way just fine.

★★★★★ — Christina , Oct 2023

Beautiful trail system not far from town. Lovely sounds of nature yet so close to the city. The trail we walked was paved but had many collapsed or messed up sections of pavement. So many beautiful colorful flowers in bloom along the side of the trails.

★★★★★ — Crystal , May 2022

Great quiet trails. Don’t have to travel far at all to get here, yet it looks & feels as though you’re way out in nature. I prefer to take my dog here since I prefer solitude, peace & quiet over a neighborhood walk any day.

★★★★☆ — Nathan , Jan 2019

Great place for a hike with your family. There are a number of trails to walk. Plus a water fall. It is beautiful. There is a clean Porta John in the parking lot.

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.
