Confirmed from Craig Pittman 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.

Trail-laced park for family outings, featuring scenic access to the Tuscarawas River as well as a playground.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“It is a beautiful stretch of trail with some rolling hills.”

Great trailhead along the Towpath Trail. Well kept and clean. Great access to the Tuscarawas River.

★★★★★ — Nathaniel , Jun 2024

It's just a trail head with parking. It's not a park. It's usually clean and we'll kept. Horses are permitted. It's not as pretty as other parts of the Towpath, but I'm happy it's here! Lots of wildlife to see!

★★★★★ — Ht , Apr 2018

Going to craig pittman is always such a relaxing time and an amazing place to get away, think, explore, take photos, time with family, etc... The trails are so well maintained, the water is extremely easy to access, plus lots of great rocks! Great spots for fishing, biking trails, etc.

★★★★★ — Taylor , Jul 2022

This community park is lovely! It's a quiet place to enjoy the natural surroundings as well as entertainment your children. There are a couple of walking bridges over a burbling creek and a nice playground for the young ones.

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.
