Confirmed from Farmdale Reservoir'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 hiking trails along with mountain bike tracks and a small jumps course.
What runners say about Farmdale Reservoir
“Well maintained and all the people we ran into were polite and friendly.”
“What a great hike I just had to my new town that I just moved here a month ago it was wonderful and beautiful there the scenery is amazing I'm loving all the trees”
My husband and I absolutely love coming here. We discovered it about four years ago and have loved hiking out here throughout all the seasons. Lots to see and it’s dog friendly! We actually got engaged here
As a photographer, Farmdale Reservoir has become one of my go-to spots around Peoria! The trails and open fields are beautiful year-round, especially in the fall when the colors pop.
A beautiful place to get outside and connect with nature. Plenty of trails that wind through woods & prarie and meander along a stream. Fun mountain biking trails and a small jumps/pump course. Dogs are welcome. 👌
Great place to go for a short hike or bike ride on a trail. Beautiful scenery everywhere you look. Perfect for the outdoorsman and nature lover at heart!
