Confirmed from Caddy Memorial 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.

“Small area but beautiful winter landscape, good place to take a quiet nice walk with loved one”

It is a nice, well-maintained, lovely, and small park right near the bay. It has a small children play ground and huge walking and running spaces around. The parking lot is ample. I enjoyed the great times here by the water. I would love to be back soon in the future

★★★★★ — Danny , Apr 2024

A nice, compact little park. The playground takes center stage. You can probably walk around the whole thing in five minutes. There are some food views of the marsh, a good size parking lot, and proximity to the ocean is always a plus.

★★★★☆ — Diesse , Apr 2025

I love it! When the grandchildren are over there's a play area complete with swings,slides and sandbox. There's many benches to sit and enjoy the view of the marsh and several paths for joggers that wrap around the park.

★★★★★ — Gary , Sep 2023

A treasure across from the beach... Ospreys are nesting ... Historical place with the story chisled in boulders along the path. Great sunsets....

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.
