Confirmed from Bull Mountain 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (128 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“We did a Quick Look at the climbing structure then off to the clean porta-potty.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“There are also beautiful carved statues of wood - fawn, eagle, racoon and bears.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Most of it is wooded trails, and the main grassy area is fairly uneven and full of holes and bumps but if you're looking to take a great shady walk in the woods it's awesome.”

This was a cute little trail in the middle of the suburbs. Very nice tree cover and a great way to experience nature without going too far!

Love this park. I hike the trails here with my dog. The park is gorgeous, and it has a fun & unique play structure for kids. The covered area has picnic tables that are great to sit at if you’re watching your kids play.

★★★★☆ — Alyssa , Aug 2021

I love how this community built park keeps getting better. The playground equipment is unique and excellent at developing balance and coordination. The art reflecting the wildlife also inhabiting the park's woods are also excellent. My favorite part are the trails leading through the thick woods.

★★★★★ — Karen , Nov 2018

We had a lovely little wander here with our dog. It has a paved walking path, keeping us out of the mud, a picnic table for outdoor eating, a big grassy area, and a porta-potty. We didn't get to explore all of it, but we loved seeing the signs for the local plant life as well as a beautifully maintained park.

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.
