Confirmed from Bullfrog Valley 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.
Pond surrounded by walking and biking trails at this popular park.
What runners say about Bullfrog Valley Park
“This place is beautiful and such a great place to walk the trails are well kept.”
“Great little park with a beautiful pond, small gazebo, and a great trail for walking/hiking.”
“There are the trails with plenty of shade from the surrounding trees as well as the ones running along the hershey fields and hospital.”
“Great park to enjoy with your loves one and friends, i like this when I need some quiet times and time away from everything .”
A great little 3 mile hike up and back in the Hershey area. It does have an incline but is not difficult. It's definitely cooler during the summer as most of it is shaded. I included some fall pictures as that is my favorite time to go there. Enjoy!
We always come to this sweet park and trail when we visit Hershey. The trail runs along the creek, is wide and paved so easy to ride bikes, push a stroller, walk dogs (leashes on). It’s a serene setting and captures the beauty of the natural environment seasonally. Recently there are goslings!
Great park to enjoy with your loves one and friends, i like this when I need some quiet times and time away from everything . There are some great nature trails , bike 🚲 trails as well.
My pup and I have been coming here for a long time now. For the most part, the trails are clean. But not all pet owners clean up the poop. The one major thing that bothers me is the people on bicycles. Most of them are curtious and give you a heads up when they are passing you.
