Confirmed from Evans Mill Ruins Walking Trail'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 creek and easy and moderate trail options that's good for kids.
What runners say about Evans Mill Ruins Walking Trail
“The river was only 5mins walking from the parking lot and had a beautiful space to lay a blanket and enjoy the sounds of the water.”
“The trail is quiet, you can think and do some self-reflection but there was some activity on the trails (hikers, bikers, strollers, dog walkers) but not crazy busy.”
Large paths and peaceful trails. Follow @SlickHiking on tiktok/ig for videos and pics
Peaceful nature walk. Able to walk right up to the water where there are panic tables and such a cool place to have a picnic 1 day...
Really enjoyed hiking here yesterday! The trails are nice, and the way we went really wasn't strenuous. You can follow the biking path if you want a really flat and solid ground, or you can take the route through the woods.
Enjoyed my first visit to Evan’s Mills Ruins Walking Trail. While I didn’t hike much since the group I went with were hanging out by the river, the trails looked relatively easy and there was also a bike path.
