Confirmed from Cronomer Hill 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.
Family-friendly park containing a fire-viewing tower and playgrounds, plus hiking trails.
What runners say about Cronomer Hill Park
“The best part of the park its clean, safe, well maintained and dogs will love it.”
“Took advantage of the beautiful weather and played some pickle ball on the tennis courts.”
“Not too many people on the trails made it a peaceful hike with my companions.”
“Super easy hike with a lot of trails that shoot off in all different directions.”
I've hiked here all 4 seasons. Park at the bottom and you can follow the path pavement or take a trail on the left. I've had picnics here, there are stone ruins if you can find them. I've also gotten lost here lol so if you have an app that marks your trail or for where you parked your car use it.
Many trails here, mostly unmarked. Thank goodness for AllTrails navigation, can wander and still be able to find your way back to the car. Very buggy this time of year. Small hills with enough elevation to burn calories for sure. Not too many people on the trails made it a peaceful hike with my companions.
Super easy hike with a lot of trails that shoot off in all different directions. Beautiful view and great for people with disabilities and dogs/kids. There's a playground, a pavilion, bathrooms, picnic tables, garbage cans and the trail up to the tower is paved so you can drive up there if you don't feel like walking.
Excellent view! Worth the drive. Unfortunately there are no hiking trails that we could find, even though there's plenty of room for several. There may be some, but we could not find and there's no map available. Note: to get to the road to the summit, enter on the northeast side of the park.
