Confirmed from Enterprise South Nature 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.
Wooded 2,800-acre park offering walking & biking trails, picnic areas, a lake & a visitor center.
What runners say about Enterprise South Nature Park
“There is also a visitor center with clean restrooms, maps, and a water refill station.”
“Beautiful park with well maintained trails and awesome bathrooms!”
Such a cool place! Stop by the visitor center and pick up one of their excellent color coded maps. There are a couple of driving loops to enjoy along with the trails. It's absolutely gorgeous and beautifully maintained. We didn't have time for a long hike so I really hope to come back.
Great park with lots to offer. Miles of hiking, horseback, and mountain bike trails that often intertwine, giving you the option to make your hike as long or short as you want. I strongly recommend grabbing a map from the visitor center as trail signage could be better.
Bro, this is a nice place for nature right now. There's a lot of people you can meet out here. Very nice that like to run. They communicate well with you. She even let me run with her and we talked about 4k's for like a good cause. I saw deer, squirrel you name it in wildlife.
We're taking our energetic pup to this park nearly every day, hoping she will run out of gas eventually (unlikely). A really nice dog park.... a large fenced area, lots of trees, some agility features, a splash pool, sandbox and excellent maintenance.
