Confirmed from Cross Farms Recreation Complex'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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (51 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

“Well maintained fields and a great disc golf course.”

Great little 18 hole course. Mostly wooded but a couple holes are open. I play here 1-2 times a week and it definitely helps my game when going back to more open courses in the area.

★★★★★ — Evan , May 2016

Always love playing here and somewhat close to where I live. They paved the parking lot! Added red alternate baskets

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.

🚻 Restrooms 3 mentions

“Also, the restrooms are only open some of the time.”
