Confirmed from Coon Creek 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 scenery 3 mentions

“Not a lot of area for adventuring, but even on the small trail that runs through it you can still see some beautiful scenery.”

🏃 great for running 2 mentions

“I love to bike, run and rollerblade this trail.”

There is a great trail going through Coon Creek Park. This trail follows Coon Creek for about 2 miles and connects Bunker Hills Regional Park to other trails in Andover. The path is in pretty good shape and doesn't get too crowded. I love to bike, run and rollerblade this trail.

★★★★☆ — Drake , Jul 2013

It's a beautiful trail system that has easy access points. It connects to the trails within Bunker park.

★★★★★ — Tracy , Sep 2022

Coon Creek Park is a nice and tiny little park hidden away in the woods. Comes complete with a children's play area (playground over sand and wood chips, slides, etc) and a small basketball court.

★★★★☆ — Lucas , Apr 2018

A nice quiet area along the creek. You can walk or bike along here for miles.

★★★★★ — Ronald , 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.

The practical stuff

  • AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
