Confirmed from Foley Pond On Paint Creek Trail'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.

calm and serene, beautiful place to sit down and introspect!! Good place to take a break on the Paintcreek Trail.
A beautiful pond surrounded by gorgeous foliage and a nice stop along the Paint Creek Trail. We love taking the kids here or I go on my own for some quiet and calm.
Cute little stop in the Paint Creek Trail to see lots of aquatic plants as well as fish and reptiles. Viewing platforms have benches for a short rest as well. The pond is private property, so please respect it as such, but enjoy the resting and the viewing and the "up north" feeling you get in the area.
It's a privately maintained Pond which is open to public providing a view of the pond with all it's natural reservation of flora and fauna. Also spotted some Blue Gills running around inside the pond. I like to stop by this pond to get some breather while biking.
