Confirmed from Burton 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.
Scenic park with a network of trails for hiking plus a large house.
What runners say about Burton Park
“This is a great park with beautiful trails!”
It feels kind of like "hiking" in some rich person's backyard. But there are some nice grass trails and a nice wooded area where I setup my hammock. Not bad over all, if you just looking to be outside and walk. Not much else to do here otherwise.
This is my place of refuge from the noise and bustle of daily life. My daily walks in the woods bring me great joy and sense of peace. Thank you for preserving and maintaining this lovely gem, Cascade Township!
A good seanic park lots of woods! Only trails! No play grond equipment there. And there is parking to.
This is a great park with beautiful trails! The only problem is the limited parking, but that is alright. The trails are also great for snowshoeing in the winter!
