Confirmed from Creekview 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.

Tranquil recreation area with a play area and paved trail near a creek.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (72 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“First the park has a well maintained playground and picnic area.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Great place to visit, clean ground area, nice and quiet.”

This is a nice little park. It’s not very big but there is a nice loop for walks, runs or bike riding. My kids loved running around and seeing the squirrels and playing in the leaves.

There are lots of things to do here. First the park has a well maintained playground and picnic area. Second, there is a well cared for walking, biking,etc paved path. Third, the Conodoguinet Creek runs by. We have seen fishermen, kayakers and tubers on the creek. This is only the beginnings of what this Park offers.

★★★★★ — Dorris , Jul 2019

Wonderful walking path by the creek. Small playground for kids. Also a pavilion for picnics for rent at North Middleton twsp building. I believe reservations are required.

★★★★★ — Cheryl , Jul 2022

Love it. It has a play ground for the kids, a picnic area, and a short paved path that laps around a field. The path is next to the river and has 4 benches at sit and enjoy the view. My son love the ducks and the only down side is all the duck droppings on the path but that's just nature.

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.
