Confirmed from Earl Brown 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.

a huge park in the DeLand area- lots of walking space, two dog parks, a good-sized playground, a basketball court, a skate park, a large stage, great public bathrooms, a covered patio with picnic tables, and lots of benches to enjoy all the ducks and birds around the water.

Beautiful park…. Hands down. You have everything as far as basketball courts to the dog park. And trails lead all around the park full of life!!! The people, the animals…. it’s the full nature vibe. There are public restrooms, and room for plenty recreational activities.

Beautiful, large park with a large pond and lots of walkways, outdoor gym equipment, a small skate park and tons of friendly birds! Great place for a walk or to sit and relax! Very clean and safe.

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.
