Confirmed from Governor Notte 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.
What runners say about Governor Notte Park
“Beautiful park No fenced in dog area as suggested on other reviews.”
Went hiking here along the roads and trails. We did a total of 5.5 miles by combining two routes that I found on AllTrails. This is a hidden gem in N. Prov.
Notte Park is absolutely one of my favorite parks. v beautiful and great for walks/jogs or just family time
