Confirmed from Chisholm Creek North 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 pond/lake. Would be better is they paved the path or kept the grass on the path shorter. I will have to come back and check out the fishing. Trail was nice though.

★★★★☆ — Jeremy , Aug 2021

This is one of the best places to enjoy nature, take a walk or go fishing. You’d be surprised how remote it looks within the park although this is located in one of the busiest neighborhoods in the city. Parking is available by Woodlawn street.

★★★★★ — Fernandez , Mar 2022

A nice place to go for a walk. The exhibits in the building are free and a great place to take young kids.

★★★★☆ — Amy , Mar 2021

Beautiful place to walk. Trails are actual trails and not pavement or gravel. A little more out in the open than I had anticipated but still very nice. Not crowded and was a nice little walk.

★★★★★ — Noel , May 2023

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.
