Confirmed from Cub Run Stream Valley 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.
More than 800 acres of woodsy space featuring trails for running & biking, plus a simple playground.
What runners say about Cub Run Stream Valley Park
“There's a gorgeous mix of wide, beautiful, smooth paved trails, and narrower older trails, and unpaved trails.”
I love spending time in the Cub Run Stream Valley Park... we are very fortunate as it is only minutes from our house. My daughter and I take bike rides, splash around in the water, play on the bridge, walk along the bluebell trail. Beautiful place and we highly recommend! 💖💞
Walking, Running, and Biking lowlands paradise. There's a gorgeous mix of wide, beautiful, smooth paved trails, and narrower older trails, and unpaved trails. It all runs through low marshy country, a mix of wetlands woods.
A good park to walk in with a family or just yourself and a dog. Very dog friendly, offers a hiking path or a regular flat path. The stepping stones are a cool addition yet hard to get by if you are in a bike.
We decided to go down the path less traveled (unless you are on a bike). We enjoyed the adventure and the nature We saw. Finally found the "foot traffic" path and the stepping stones on the stream and hung out there for awhile. It was really nice and my whole family enjoyed the adventure.
