Confirmed from Emily Stevens 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.

This is definitely the best place to go when your visiting any nearby towns / parks because a lot in the area is not dog friendly. This place isn’t only dog friendly but allows you to let the pups off leash! Bonus it’s a great place to run or do any walking just because of the stunning views !

Great trail to walk our dogs. The people and other dogs were all friendly. Very scenic along the river with a nice loop at the end to enjoy the woods also.

★★★★★ — Paul , May 2025

Emily Stevens Park is a hidden gem! As someone who values conservation, I was immediately impressed by how well this space is preserved and maintained. I'm from out of town, and this was my first time experiencing an off-leash dog area, both for me and my pup.

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.
