Confirmed from Diane Main 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.

★★★★★ — Jerry , Dec 2024

A very novice park, we'll maintained. It's a great place to walk my dog, or just walk and enjoy nature. Sadly, it is not safe at present because so many refuse to wear masks or follow the social distancing guidelines required to control the spread of covid-19.

★★★★★ — Arturius , Dec 2020

Nice walk with three golden retrievers through Smith Woods, around pond and then back through the woods. People were sitting on benches or in the grassy areas around the pond enjoying the warm sunny day.

★★★★☆ — Michael , Apr 2018

We came here for Westmont's StoryWalk and found the little walk around the pond with a few bridges and some ducks very peaceful and fun. Great spot for nature. There's also a playground here and a nice soccer and baseball field.

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.
