Confirmed from Difficult 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.
Greenway featuring a dirt trail for horseback riding & hiking along a wooded creek bed.
What runners say about Difficult Run Stream Valley Park
My dog and I love hiking these trails. There are streams to wade in and logs to jump over and LOTS of interesting scents to check out. Sometimes there are even deer to bark at!
S good place to walk my dog on a very hot day cause there's lots of shade from all the trees.
A fun park with lots of trails, you almost feel like you're in the middle of a forest in your own back yard. Great place for a family hike or a place to explore the wildlife
A good trek comes with ups and downs. Perfectly suited for a short 2 mile trek. The stream ends at the Loch haven reservoir. Has some good views as well.
