Confirmed from Fort Miamis' 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.

“Great history and very well kept place”

A Sweet little gem of Historical significance. No jungle gym equipment. No slides or swings. Sledding in the winter is forbidden as it damages the historic ramparts. So definitely not a place to bring your kids for romping- it's not *that* kind of park.

★★★★☆ — Su , Jun 2021

Cute little park with a lot of history. There's not a lot to do there right now but you can see where the fort was and also see the Maumee. It's a nice park for a quick walk or for a picnic. Definitely a must see if you're into America's history.

★★★★★ — Aaron , Sep 2018

I felt a profound sense of energy here. The historic signs help to give us a sense of what this land has seen, but as soon as you walk through the hills you will FEEL what I mean.

★★★★★ — Vivian , Nov 2021

I grew up on Hubbel street, a short walk from here and have so many fond memories of this park. As a kid - I loved it. We used to sled ride there in the winter.

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.
