Confirmed from Cedar Glades 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.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“This park is way cool, well maintained and very diverse as far as what you can do here.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 8 mentions

“Love Cedar Glades from just taking my son to play at the playground after school or have beautiful weddings.”

Lots to do and see... Some good jump and pump tracks. Easy mtb bike trails. Restrooms are located close by. Frisby golf also.

★★★★★ — Danny , May 2024

A Beautiful Skoolieship friendly Place to spend a day... And Home of The Ouachita Highland Games (which are Wonderfully Fun). However, the amenities, at least where we were, lack something to be desired, namely pottable water. Certainly recommend going.

★★★★☆ — Raven , Mar 2022

This park is way cool, well maintained and very diverse as far as what you can do here. The short but sweet bike course with ramps and challenges is fun! There is a RC / Drone area as well and the trail head is here , oh yeah disc golf too.

★★★★☆ — Daryl , Jun 2020

Peaceful place to go and enjoy some quality time. Very secluded and out of the chaos of the city. Great for scenic photo shoots too!

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.
