Confirmed from Deep River 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.
An old grist mill is the visitor center of this natural space with gardens, trails & a waterpark.
What runners say about Deep River County Park
“The mill, lumberyard, syrup shack, and gift shop are really well maintained, and the surrounding grounds are kept clean and sharp!”
“Some of the trails are over grown right now but still my husband pup and I have HOURS of great walks with beautiful scenery.”
Positioned along Deep River on the east and west banks, Deep River County Park is my absolute favorite place on the planet! I have been out on those trails since I was very young and will continue my trekking well into my twilight years... Most of these trails are flat and easy to traverse.
A beautiful place to walk, relax, take the kids and walk the dogs. A beautiful place to do a photo shoot of family, friends or just nature. I went alone today just to un stress and took a 2 mile hike around. Beautiful
Deep River County Park is an awesome place to make a day. There are plenty of beautiful scenic places within this park to take great pictures. There are nice hiking trails here. The whole site is very clean and well kept. Everyone had a great time at the Deep River County Park.
This park is so pretty. From the old mill to the gazebo to the crick. It's such a nice place to take a walk. I love to bring my dog along. He loves it too.
