Confirmed from Brady's Leap 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.
What runners say about Brady's Leap Park
Spent a lot of time in the park one weekend in October. We went during the day to find the marker for Brady's Leap, then went back that night for a ghost walk.

The park is super: well-maintained grounds, lots of trees, and a cozy atmosphere. Perfect for walking. Highly recommended! 👍
Very nice Historical Park where people can walk, run, hike, bike, kayak and fish.
