Confirmed from Center Valley 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.

“Beautiful park, excellent trails, great for hiking, bird watching.”

Wonderful trails. Easy for biking. Loved a walk and riding there. Kids Play area and a beautiful deck. Nice paved and natural trails with park benches at many place. It is recommended to watch for snakes in the evening time. Tinkers Creek flows through this.

★★★★☆ — Chanchal , Aug 2020

Great place to get muddy with your dogs. Trails aren't maintained well, the dirt trails, I mean, but that's how I like it. Have to use your outdoor skills to figure out which way to go haha.

★★★★★ — Jeff , Feb 2017

This trail sounds heavenly in the spring. There are sounds of toads and frogs calling to each other and it is wonderful!

★★★★★ — Meg , Mar 2018

This trail is called the 'Old Hickory Trail', which is part of the Center Valley Park. What an amazing find. Great for mountain bikes, but even with a road bike, it is one great trail. Many bridges and boardwalks to enjoy and along the way be prepared...a wild turkey might come out of the woods!

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.

“One large paved trail that takes you from end to end, and lots of unpaved trails that loop through the woods.”
