Confirmed from Comstock Township Firefighters Memorial'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.

Great little park to take the family. The Kalamazoo River runs right through it. You can fish. It's gorgeous.

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.

“We always enjoy this park, my only issue is that the bathrooms are still out of commission so I've always got to take the kids somewhere else to pee while we are there.”
