Confirmed from Folly Lick Stream Valley 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.

“It is a nice place to take the dog for a short, quiet walk”

Loved this trail! Went off the path a few times to get closer to the river and our pup enjoyed it greatly too! Helps that the weather was 💯 perfect

★★★★★ — Prakriti , Sep 2021

Pretty walking paths and trees. Appreciate the trailway signage. Wet crossing - I think it was this park; we went to a few - is a bit slick if you don't use the bollards.

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.
