Confirmed from Clarence Schock Memorial 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.
Scenic woodland park with trails for hiking, mountain biking, and climbing, plus a 66-ft. fire tower.
What runners say about Clarence Schock Memorial Park
“Bathrooms are clean and .”
“Butterflies are beautiful this time of the year.”
“Love running here, great trail for a challenging trail run!”
“Trail 11 is not an easy trail to explore.”
Awesome park. Not a lot of people go here so it's a very quiet and peaceful place to go on walks. There are many trails that are a blast to hike.
This is one of my favorites places to hike. My uncle and I went this past Sunday and we hiked over 8 miles. However, you can make your hike as long or short as you prefer depending on which trails you take.
Love this park and environmental center. Great series of trails. Something for everyone, easy, progressive, and difficult. Check out the maps for the park and also the maps for the Horseshoe Trail runs through the property.
Tower was fun. Several trails. Decent boulder formations. There is a lot of steep uphill walking. Several mountain bikers were riding and a few people bouldering
