Confirmed from Faulkner Park Trails' 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“This is the peaceful place easy hike with small children walking or biking.”

Visited twice this week. Short loop a box turtle crossed my path. Next day long loop, stopped and admired mama deer and baby in the meadow grazing as I rested on the bench. Quiet and beautiful day!

This is the peaceful place easy hike with small children walking or biking. Easy get into nature to explore near big shopping center and major HWY.

★★★★★ — Amber , Jun 2022

First ride. Really decent for the area. Real mtb trail. Slightly confusing in a couple of areas but no different than anywhere else. Great jump lines and trail features. Some of the skinnies are pretty scary that bridge large gaps. Long easy to ride trails for beginners and those interested in just exercise and nature.

★★★★★ — Jeff , May 2022

Great little trail tucked away in Tyler. We especially love the Walk-with-a-Doc we got to attend. Apparently this happens on the first Saturday of every month at 10:00 am with Dr. Jennie Zheng. My wife and I enjoyed learning and exercising!

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.
