Confirmed from Fox Glen 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Very quiet,shady and just beautiful for a walk and run.”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“Perfect for an easy stroll with the kids or to walk the dog.”

Nice paved trail with some pretty views. Trail isn’t very long but I made several laps to make my walk long enough. It’s easy access right off of Straub road and not usually a very busy place.

★★★★☆ — Stephanie , Apr 2021

Very nice park to go for a walk in the woods. Asphalt paths to make it easy and not get muddy. Lots of nice mowed clearings.

★★★★★ — Stephen , May 2023

Good place for quick walk! It’s about 1/2 a mile all the way around and mostly in the shade.

★★★★★ — Amanda , Jul 2020

Typically nice, safe and well maintained path to walk. Picnic tables available.

★★★★☆ — Rebecca , Feb 2020

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.

  • AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
  • SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller

  • ShadeRunners describe real tree cover here — it makes a summer afternoon workable
  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
