We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ghost Meadow Wildlife Commons yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

What runners say about Ghost Meadow Wildlife Commons

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Just found this great spot and explored it today (8/8/25). Do not hike this trail with shorts on!!! Just past the bog there are planks to walk on through a swampy area, there is arrowleaf tearthorn plants that will absolutely shred your legs! Oh and there are hornets nesting under those planks, so be so careful!

I have been hiking ghost meadow for years. There is no poison ivy. Lots of ticks frogs mosquitos and horse flies. No poison ivy get a field book. The trail leads to Clark road. No proper parking on Clark road

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.
