Confirmed from Duck Creek 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.

“Went for an afternoon stroll around the park to some beautiful sights and even better weather!”

I come here often. Great paved trails with pockets of nature. There's a disc golf course, plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the atmosphere, and e night workout circuit as well. Everyone I come across is nice and cordial. I feel very safe here.

★★★★★ — Nakkia , Sep 2023

The playground is nice and simple. A good stop along the trail if you have kids with you. Parks and Rec recently put a fence around the playground so it is safe.

★★★★★ — Teresa , Sep 2023

Beautiful park with lots of trees and different wildlife! Trail might be 4miles long, I didn’t get to check it out though.

★★★★★ — Maria , Nov 2023

Beautiful park that has a lot of man hours put into it to keep the trails clean.

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.
