Confirmed from Fort Amanda 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.
Clean park and cemetery with paved trails, grills and picnic tables.
What runners say about Fort Amanda Park
“Very clean, easy walking paths that aren't too long.”
“Beautiful place to visit and view nature, as well as history that is something to be remembered.”
“Just a peaceful place to get away and have a picnic or cookout.”
What a nice little park to visit. It has a nice trail with plaques giving the history of the park. We followed the trail through the park, cemetery of soldiers from the War of 1812, across the bridge, & to the monument. It was very well kept & interesting to learn about.
Such a clean, well kept cemetery and memorial. I was surprised that all the graves of the unknown soldiers had decorations and kept so nicely. Kudos to the locals for being so respectful. The paved path definitely appreciated as we walked to the memorial.
Peaceful, out of the way park. Shelters and areas to have a picnic with family. It has a nice trail system which isn't too long or difficult. A nice historical park to visit.
Very nice place. Graveyard with graves from 1812. Trails to walk with a bridge across the river to the location of the fort.
