Confirmed from Eastside Trail at Chimney 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.
Hiking area with a dog park, library, and opportunities for rock painting and photography.
What runners say about Eastside Trail at Chimney Park
I liked this trail. It was recommended to me by a coworker. There are a few mini sites such as the house foundationon the park grounds and another foundation beside it. Things like that intrigue me. There's also a couple of things for kids to play around with.
I'm from michigan and took my family here and it was a decent place to walk with the dogs, nothing spectacular but I liked it
Great place to take photos. Nice little park to walk around and explore. A lot of people like hiding painted rocks here.
My hubby and I only walked a 2 miles total it started to get dark it was not so much a trail alot of houses on both sides and quite a few streets you have to cross... but it was a nice walk. I enjoyed the few hills getting a little extra burn lol...
