Confirmed from Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District'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.
Recreational district comprised of over 14 parks with open green spaces, trails & historic lodges.

I walk there on a daily basis and it is a beautiful, safe, clean place to be. The GHPRD does a fantastic job of maintaining it. It is the crown jewel of Huntington!🌟💯💚
