Confirmed from Frank Hosea Woods 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.

Very Nice Woods path. Perfect for an early morning walk/run. Is really pretty during sunset. 🌅 it’s not very known so there’s not many people walking there. Only people from the nearby neighborhood. Would highly recommend the path to the left. This park is truly extraordinary.
This is a quiet little park with a smooth accessible paved walking path through a wooded area. A mulched trail was easy to navigate too with my daughter's medical stroller.
