Confirmed from Douglasville Running Trail'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.

This is a lovely trail for a walk! It's so peaceful and the scenery is amazing. 🥰 There are benches scattered along the trail if you need a break, or just to sit and enjoy the views! I also love that there are leave a book/take a book libraries out there.

Such a beautiful running and walking trail I can't even express how amazing it is to have so many great parks within the local area Douglasville. If you're looking to get out on the weekend and catch some sun, here is the spot you need to go.

★★★★★ — Zachary , Jun 2019

Great walking trail to take your family. Clean and organized to get your exercise in. You can ride your bicycle and can bring your horse to ride him or her on the horse trail.

★★★★★ — Samuel , Oct 2022

Plenty of trails for hiking, biking, or liesure walking. Access to the Aquatic center for a small fee and areas for the kids to roam free and play as well as organized sporting events!

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.
