Confirmed from Brantwood Regional 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.

Great fun park !!! Located right around the corner from the Delaware/Maryland line close to Elkton and Chesapeake city. It's also located right across the street from sweet cowalines a local icecream store. This park is sensory friendly and has lots of stuff for climbers and explorers.

★★★★☆ — Emily , May 2021

We love this park. There is a beautiful stroller friendly trail that is also a story trail. My kids ages 1-9 loved it. There's a longer trail that goes around the park and crosses the street.

★★★★★ — Kristen , Aug 2023

Wonderful park for a picnic! It has nice pickleball courts, an awesome children’s playground, and long walkways perfect for walking, jogging, or cycling. The park is clean, well-maintained, and usually less crowded. I loved it here, plentiful parking, and most areas are quiet and peaceful too.

★★★★★ — Sherin , Aug 2025

A nice park that was once a country club for avid golfers, Brantwood is large enough to give a nice leisurely walk to the average person and encompasses both sides of old county line road. There is also frisbee golf and a large playground area for the kids. It has a few ponds and picnic tables as well.

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.

“The only real negative is the tree roots in certain places are starting to show under the asphalt so watch your step in certain areas.”

  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • At the trailheadparking — reported by runners
  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
