Confirmed from Fox Run Regional 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.
Wooded park offering lake & mountain views, plus hiking & biking trails, horseback riding & more.

Great park, with a little something for everyone. There are two play structures, open fields for running and games, this neat little grove of trees for kids to wind in and out of, and much longer trails for the hikers as well.
I always love to come here regardless of the time of year. Have been coming here for almost 20 years now. It’s a nice large park with a couple small pounds to walk around. The perimeter of the park is just about a 5k and is what I use to as a running area.
