Confirmed from Forest Trail 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.
What runners say about Forest Trail Park
Brought my choc lab and he and a clients German shep had such a great time. The entire place was fenced and I didn't have to worry while I worked. Removed some trees and spent some time until my boy was worn out and the truck got stuck. With the help of a tractor and more weight in the truck we were on our way.
Nice fairways, beautiful greens, very well maintained. If your plan on walking this course bring a big bottle of water, they dont have any water to refill along the way but you can find a house along the course to fill up at at.
the trail isn't marked, but you can run through a paved path through a golf course. It was a pleasant run through a suburban housing development.
Use to walk here all the time. Its a memeorable walk and would recommend to anyone.
