Confirmed from C. Bickham Dickson'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.
Park offering fishing and hiking trails along with a picnic area and a pier.
What runners say about C. Bickham Dickson
“Beautiful trees and scenery!”
Strange and being taken over by nature. Fishing dock, boat ramp and hiking trail.
10/9/22 Nice hidden gem in the city. Non motorized fishing and hiking trails available. 11/27/23 This former city park is now a part of the Red River Wildlife Refuge and as such is now managed as a nature preserve. You wouldn't find grills, a playground or picnic tables.
Beautiful place, nice hike. It is a shame the city doesn't maintain it. The end of the loop is not walkable at all. The first loop is just one big swamp.
