Confirmed from Carroll's Woods' 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.

“Beautiful place for a walk in primitive woods.”

So many paths, can easily reach rosemount high school by going here. It is also great for excersize. I used to ride my bike a lot through here.

★★★★★ — Syed , Nov 2018

Great 2 mile trail through the woods, across a bridge, past a playground. My 6 year old liked finding the trail maps along the way.

★★★★☆ — Lincoln , Jun 2018

It has a nice path that you can use to walk through the woods and offers a nice place to enjoy nature. There are multiple trails one of which leads to a nice playground to play in. There is a small pond you can fish in and a small bridge. There is mostly in harmed nature that is well preserved

★★★★★ — Thatcher , Nov 2017

Just got back from walking our dogs through this awesome park. My ADHD definitely kicked in with all the different paths. Will be back to explore the different paths.

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.
