Confirmed from Cross Creek County 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.
A creek runs through this public park, which features boat launches for fishing & recreation.

I really appreciated this place. I was impressed by the lack of human imprint. They're are picnic places and boat docks. a graduation party was happening while we were fishing. But when you enter the woods the only reason you would know people were there were because of the trails.
If you drive out Route 50 and keep going from Bridgeville about 20 miles you'll come to Cross Creek Park it's absolutely beautiful worth the drive there are hiking trails there's a huge Lake that has boat access 10 horsepower motors and sailboats under 14 ft it's just absolutely beautiful
New Path in our community. I did not measure but I do believe the loop to be approximately 2 miles long in total. It has quite a few 10 and 12 degree slopes.
