Confirmed from Clarksburg City 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.

“I occasionally pass other dog walkers, and otherwise the occasional jogger.”

This is a pleasant park for walking a dog. Never too busy. I occasionally pass other dog walkers, and otherwise the occasional jogger. Bikes are allowed on the paths but I seldom see them. This also has some superb soccer practice fields.

★★★★☆ — Saint , Apr 2025

This park is large and offers clean Pavilions with built in grills for party's and several built in picnic tables through out. The playground area is clean and has been recently updated. There is also a walking trail around the park that many people enjoy solo or with four legged babies as the trail is pet friendly.

It's a busy. Well kept park. My dog. Loves the fact he can get in an out of the creek area. At bottom side of the park. An I like the fact that even though it says close at dark dog an I can still Access the area. At dark because of work / sleep schedule we do a lot of his walking after midnight up to 2 am. ..

★★★★★ — Melissa , May 2024

It's not just a nice playground there is a ton of things to do there either w/ your kids or when we were kids always have so much fun. My favorite is feeding the ducks or just walking the trail that's 1 big circle w/ so much beautiful nature that you don't realize how much & long you had walked.

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.

“Bathrooms were very clean and not smelly like most park bathrooms; when you have a kid with a chronic illness cleanliness is always a factor.”
