Confirmed from Dudley Woods Metro 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.
What runners say about Dudley Woods Metro Park
“Beautiful and well maintained hiking trails perfect for an easy nature walk.”
“Everything was so lush and beautiful, we even saw the most beautiful little blue bird (making me think of Cinderella) but unable to photo.”
“Nice, quiet place to have a lunch.”
There is something at this park. Just a little off the trail that goes up into the private property area, I have personally had several strange things happen to me. I've been up there about three times alone.
Love this low key spot for hot summer days! It's not your traditional park. It's a very hike type wooded trail but short. The paths can get a bit muddy after rain because of this though. The creek is great!
We walked the trail and cooled off a bit in the creek bed looking for any nature treasures. Everything was so lush and beautiful, we even saw the most beautiful little blue bird (making me think of Cinderella) but unable to photo. Nice little place to enjoy the outside to take a walk.
Nice quiet park and trail. Very shady and the creek is a good place to cool off. For videos of the area visit my TikTok: @bluehircine (follow Grizzly Fire-Fang)
