Confirmed from Carriage Hill MetroPark'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.
City park featuring an 1880s-era farm with activities & a visitor center, a lake & nature trails.
What runners say about Carriage Hill MetroPark
“Beautiful landscape and trails that are a pretty easy walk around the lake with gorgeous views.”
Update: Otters!😄 Carriage Hill MetroPark is a peaceful retreat, especially after a snowstorm. The serene atmosphere, combined with snowy landscapes and abundant birdlife, makes it a perfect spot for photography and relaxation.
This is a nice farm to go to. Lots of horses and some farm animals along with nice trails and a small country store here. They offer horse rides for $30 a person. Last time I was here I was about 5 or 6 years old. It's been many years since I was here.Some things has changed but still a nice experience going here.
There are several reasons to come here, the reception center is awesome. But the pond is my favorite! It’s catch and release, no license needed. They have sun fish, bass, cat, frogs galore, turtles, and much more wildlife. The dock is best for the sun fish bluegill.
What a lovely place to spend the day, solo or as a couple or a family! Beautiful and so much to experience. The staff here is incredible, all super sweet and full of so much wisdom to share! Animals, rope making, blacksmithing, and so much more.
