We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Forest Park forest trails yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

What runners say about Forest Park forest trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (9 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice walk to take your pup on. There are 3 different trails. None took too long. There is also a horse trail so keep an eye out for horses. Went in March during a nice cool 60 degree day.

★★★★★ — Mg , May 2024

Very fun to hike through and also lots of scenery. There were also abandoned railroad tracks.

★★★★★ — Crabby , Apr 2024

I have walked this years ago and that the trails are very nice because when walking i can breathe in the fresh and clean air and see many wild animals like chipmunks and others.
