Confirmed from Gallup 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.

“It is a wonderful place to go for a peaceful walk, bike, ride, jog, or one wheel ride.”

A nice park alongside Huron River. It has a lot to offer to all age groups with different interests. The trail is nicely paved and is good for running, biking walking with nice views for good photos. There are couple of picnic areas. At the entrance you can rent kayaks and kayak in the river.

A lovely small park area around the damn with benches, picnic tables, & access to the B2B trail (Gallup Park Path). There is parking on both the east & west sides of Old Dixboro. There's also water access to get around to damn too :)

Nice place to go for a walk or a run or a jog path is pretty much straightforward people are friendly and a watch out for each other you get to run by the river there are train tracks on the other side but they don’t go by very often and they’re pretty far.

★★★★☆ — Mozi , Sep 2020

I took my Onewheel to the park and had a blast. The trails were awesome to ride on, and the park wasn't too crowded. The views on this October afternoon, we're spectacular with the fall leaves hitting their peak colors. It is a wonderful place to go for a peaceful walk, bike, ride, jog, or one wheel ride.

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.
