Confirmed from Gallup Park Pathway Trailhead at Parker Mill County 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.

Great trails and great picture opportunities throughout the park!! Especially around the pond!!
Nicely paved two mile bike trail connects the Botanical Garden to Parker Mill and the Border to Border Trail that runs along the Huron River. Only downside is that you are expected to pay for parking at the Botanical Garden. Free parking at Parker Mill.
Not very well mapped, but interesting trail. Real rattlesnakes (although we just saw a yellow and black striped plains garter snake. Also beware lots of bugs and ticks if not overgrowth scraping against bare skin
A few placards along the trail are nice factoids of the original uses of surrounding land. Very well constructed bridges along the route and sufficient width to allow for cyclists and walkers to pass safely.
