Dawn to dusk

Confirmed from Ellisville Parks & Recreation'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.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“Plenty of parking and clean facilities.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Beautiful park with great trails to walk a playground for the kids.”

I had a lot of fun climbing up the paved bike path that went through the woods for miles and miles. At places there were few dirt paths not as bad and my road bike handled very well. They also have tons of mountain bike trail that I will be testing next.

★★★★★ — Nishant , Aug 2018

Rather impressive neighborhood park. Great walking trail with fitness stations, nice playground, open fields, dog park, tennis courts, frolf course, and pool with splash pad. Plenty of parking and clean facilities.

★★★★☆ — Mike , Jun 2019

Beautiful park with great trails to walk a playground for the kids. A dog park for your best pal. I love walking the trails because they're never too crowded and there's several to choose from.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 6 mentions

“Let your dog have some fun at the dog park, go play disc golf at a decent/challenging course, play some tennis, or barbecue at one of the pavilions!”
