Confirmed from Fillmore County 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.

Wonderful park! The 5k walking trail is very well maintained and takes you on a scenic tour. There are picnic tables right at the start and even out on the trails. Happy that this park has come together so beautifully and I can’t wait to see it once they add a picnic area, playground, and the sports start up.

I live by fillmore Park and can't get past there without my dogs whining they want to go sniff the trails out. You might see Blu and Wilson passing through great place for the dogs 🐕

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.
