Confirmed from Fisher Farm'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.

★★★★★ — Chantelle , Dec 2020

Great gravel/greenway and hiking plus MTB trails. For the thrill seeker, there are some very challenging features on the main trail and across the gravel road at Cedar Valley Bike Park.

★★★★★ — Forrest , Feb 2022

This is a cool park that is just tucked away at the end of a dirt road. They don’t flat mow everything so there is all sorts of plants growing in the fields, they do however mow a 6 foot wide walking path through different areas of the fields so you can easily explore without having to walk through 2 foot tall grass.

★★★★★ — Jake , Aug 2022

I am surprised how awesome this trail is. I had a blast especially the adjacent trail Cedar Valley Bike park, lots of jumps and berms. Kudos for the trail maker and the peeps that maintain it and to town itself.

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.
