Confirmed from Crawford Walking Trail'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.
Peaceful park for walking and running, featuring a gazebo, a track, and a playground.
What runners say about Crawford Walking Trail
“Very clean restrooms and just all around well maintained.”
“So glad to have a beautiful walking track in the shade and a place people can have events like the Crawford Market Days.”
A well maintained small park in the middle of Crawford. The walking trail is more like a walking/running path around the perimeter of the park. The path is paved with lots of shade. Very nice public restrooms. A great place for outdoor festivals or events.
Very Nice walking trail. Clean area, with clean restrooms. The Gazebo is very pretty and spacious. Love walking here with my dog (there's even doggy clean-up bags) how thoughtful!
It was such a wonderful little setup for Christmas! We had such a fun time taking our son and puppy! We all truly enjoyed the walk through the lights!
Small community green space in Crawford. Probably a 1/4 asphalt track around some large old beautiful trees. Used for farmers markets, events and such. Nicely kept up and always adding small things. It has a great walk thru Christmas light display that's free. every year.

Plan your run at Crawford Walking Trail
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller
- 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.
- At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
