Confirmed from Bruce E Henry 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.

A spacious and well-maintained park tucked away in a quiet corner of Loyalsock. With Little League fields, tennis courts, a volleyball court, and a nice sized play structure, Bruce E. Henry has a little of something for everyone.

★★★★★ — Cole , Jun 2019

A lovely park with shade from beautiful trees, clean grounds, nice seating areas. The parking spots are a little cramped, but all in all VERY nice.

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.
