Confirmed from Clearview 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.
What runners say about Clearview Park
“Nice secret off the beaten path area with a short trail leading to a beautiful overlook of the Bourbeuse River.”
Absolutly stunning view. Great place to take sunset pictures. Trail is rough in areas but very accessible. Lots of graffiti unfortunately. It's a nice spot to take time away from the rat race.
Grew up walking the trail up. Now taking my boy up the trail. It's a short hike with some elevation but trail is taking care off. Always knew the place as lovers leap.
I have been going here since childhood and I absolutely love it! We used to hike up here and have picnics at the cliffs. We always just called at the cliffs. Now since it's nearby where I live I like to walk the dogs up there and take my son it's a good way to get out I'm just sit and enjoy nature.
I love driving here with my friends and going for a walk up the hill! It is certainly not a perfect trail or a very safe place for kids to be climbing. However, it is great for pictures and a short adventure with friends. Highly recommend checking it out in your free time.
