Confirmed from Cullum's Trail 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.
Park featuring a nature center, walking trails, and opportunities for kayaking.
What runners say about Cullum's Trail Park
“While there are no bathrooms or picnic areas, the park makes up for it with its tranquil setting and well-maintained trails.”
“The first stop on the left will bring butterflies, gopher turtles, a bats nest, and information about beehives; very small in scale but calming with the natural scenic surrounding.”
“There’s plenty of shade throughout the park, which is ideal on hot days.”
“This is a decent trail that is not too long where you can get off the road and get some quiet time which can actually not be so quiet because it's close to 75.”
“The trails are not too long, and they are not overly rocky, making them suitable for all ages and fitness levels.”
Turning onto the road you'll pass a YMCA and park, going down further you have two options to park and start your journey: one on the left and the one straight ahead.
This is a decent trail that is not too long where you can get off the road and get some quiet time which can actually not be so quiet because it's close to 75. The trails are nice and packed with sand and shells and there is the Imperial River to walk along and see some very small fish, turtles, birds and other…
A nice, quiet place for a peaceful walk, perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city noise. This park offers a serene atmosphere, with plenty of natural beauty to enjoy. While there are no bathrooms or picnic areas, the park makes up for it with its tranquil setting and well-maintained trails.
Can walk back and forth in probably 15 mins, but worth it. If you keep your eyes peeled and are quiet you will see a lot of wildlife...

“There’s plenty of shade throughout the park, which is ideal on hot days.”
“Small parking at the Trail sign but there is extra parking at Nature Place, very close to it and connected for nice primitive Trail .”
“Seen families, dogs and kayak explores; it feels like you can get away from the city for a while.”
“Turning left is more for the off the beaten trail, elevation kind of hike but a blue circled hiker button on trees keeps you on the trail.”
“One downside is that it tends to flood during rainy season and parts of the boardwalk and trails become impassible.”
“The man made 🐚 shell trail, no of my preference but better accessible for all and also offering wide view to IMPERIAL RIVER.”
