Confirmed from Chippewassee 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.

Nice path to walk around the tridge. Very quiet and peaceful. Many things for different people to do. Dog park, playground and skate park just to name a few. Whether you come to visit any of these or just walk around, this is a nice place.

★★★★★ — Nick , Aug 2018

Love taking my dog for a walk down here, especially early in the morning when there isn't a lot of people. Very clean, they offer pet waste bags, as well as drinking fountains for furry friends/family and people.

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.
