Confirmed from Evansburg State 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 Evansburg State Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (24 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is the Fern Ave parking area accessible trails. They are primarily dedicated to mountain biking but connect to regular hiking trails and are suitable for hiking on foot. This is very likely my favorite section of the park.

★★★★★ — Steph , Jan 2024

Evansburg State Park is great! Great for mtb and hiking! Some new features and new trail links were added to the trails! Whoever is doing this I would like say thank you! And keep up the good work!

★★★★★ — Cliff_Likes , May 2020

Cool trails and much to explore. The overlook trail is a must. Next time, I plan to ride my mountain bike.

★★★★☆ — Daniel , Jun 2020

Quiet nature retreat for the entire family to sit, relax, camp out, or hike.

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.
