Confirmed from Champaign 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“These covered areas are great for sun shade or rain cover.”

This park has so much history to it, located right next to a premiere school; Allen Park High School. This park has some of the most beautiful Oak trees in all of Southeastern Michigan.

★★★★★ — Joey , Dec 2019

Great place for the kids. My Grand children's favorite place to go. The play structure have been removed a few years now. But big open spaces to run around in.

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.
