Confirmed from Genesee County Park & Forest'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.
Playground with picnic tables, plus groomed trails for hiking & cross-country skiing.
What runners say about Genesee County Park & Forest
“Trails are clearly marked, park is clean and beautiful, staff are friendly.”
“Always a great road trip to a beautiful relaxing get-away outdoors with plenty of hiking trails, ponds, creeks, animals, pavilions with grills and playgrounds.”
“Wonderful park that is very people and dog friendly.”
There are alot of trails to walk on and many pavilions and playgrounds. We brought our dog and he loved it! We didnt run into anyone else on the trail. Its only 15 minutes from warsaw, we will be back again.
This is a beautiful little gem of a park with some really nice hiking trails. I enjoyed lots of wildlife on my walk and beautiful scenery. Love the tall pine grove forests!
This is an awesome park for hiking,running and having a bike race. Walking the dog as well. Trails are in very good condition and fun to ride.
This place is great anytime of the year. Well groomed trails throughout the park. Snowshoe rentals during the winter makes a great afternoon with or without the kids. Frequent nature events such as the owl walk. Park staff is super helpful and knowledgeable . Highly recommend
