Confirmed from Buhl 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.

“We enjoyed the walk with lots of benches for rest stops, quiet, beautiful place.”

Beautiful park in hermitage for walking your dog and spending a nice afternoon outside. During Christmas, there are festive lights all around the pond.

★★★★★ — Brandon , Jan 2024

Great place for outdoor recreation, family oriented, atmosphere and exercise! They hold events there all throughout the year. There is a golf course located directly across the street from the main entrance. The Avalon country club also perimeters the main entrance.

★★★★★ — Rex , Oct 2022

Always beautiful and peaceful. Always clean and well cared for. I've been coming here since I was a baby. If you are near Buhl Park, go and spend time here. It's a great place to walk. There are multiple playgrounds for kids. The pond at the flower garden is a nice place for photos.

★★★★★ — Nikki , Jul 2022

Thoughts of a small plot of land with a pavilion at a ball field are usually what most people think of when they think of a city park. This place is almost magestic and filled with countless Acres for someone to peacefully and happily get lost in.

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.
