Confirmed from Ferry 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.
Popular, peaceful, riverfront park, featuring a clean playground, a slide and a climbing apparatus.

My first time here with my son. We are not from Bastrop but we were in town. Do stopped by for 30 minutes. Nice clean little park. We walked the trail for a couple of minutes. Lots of shade. Next time we are in town we will stop by again.
Very nice little location in the heart of Bastrop. An excellent place to go walking and enjoy the outdoors right near the river. Despite there being quiet a few people it was clean and well maintained with plenty of space to enjoy. A great place to get some exercise with a pet or to picnic with the family.
Nice place for walk. Nice for kids or making some bbq. Park is clean The only problem are the restrooms. Smell are bad and everything looks rusty.
Nobody was there it was nice and quiet. I love the trails here. Great place to bring your kids and fishing is good too!
