Confirmed from Englewood MetroPark North 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 Englewood MetroPark North Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (45 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“Iits pretty clean but far from secluded and a bit overfished.”

Great place but quickly becoming popular and over fished. Old retired gravel pits. Watch out for the big angry beavers.

★★★★★ — David , Mar 2022

The ponds next to the parking lot can get pretty crowded on weekends but the back ponds and spots aren't bad, guess most people are too lazy to walk that far lol. Iits pretty clean but far from secluded and a bit overfished.

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.
