Confirmed from Doyle Community Park and Center'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.

“Beautiful place to have a dog walk”

Such a peaceful spot. Located right off the highway, it was a great find and the perfect place for us to stop and stretch our legs during a long ride. The paths are well marked, the walk is easy, and the scenery is beautiful.

Very nice hiking trail. It's well maintained and even have some fairy houses along the way. Great route for kids and animals. There is some poison ivy along the walk so just be careful. Leaves of 3, let it be.

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.
