Confirmed from Bushnell County 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.

“Pretty clean and maintained.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Nice shaded shelter with plenty of room for party.”

Pretty clean and maintained. Yet to encounter a super busy day, but it wouldn't suprise me if it got busy, because of how nice of a park it is. Pavement paths is nice and a large picnic table area. Well lit at night aswell

★★★★☆ — Kelly , Mar 2021

Great little park. They don't have a huge playground, but it's enough to entertain smaller children for a little while. Love the walking path as well!

★★★★☆ — Xtina , Apr 2019

A nice park. River runs through it. Pavilions, flush toilets, playgrounds. Lots of fishing here. Wooden bridges. Part of hiking/ biking trails.

★★★★★ — Chuck , Jul 2023

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.
