Confirmed from Hammock Grove'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 Hammock Grove
“Alhamdulillah, Nature is beautiful, when you come here then you are able to see it.”
This collection of rope hammocks and swings is a great stop on the bike/walking trail. Perched on a small hill, one can rest in a pleasant breeze off the lake, and get a view of all the boats coming and going along the inner harbor and Lake Erie.
Nice place to watch the sunset and relax on the hammock. I was really shocked honestly to see that there were actually hammocks there for everyone but I am glad that they're there. There's probably about 5or so and I think the all work. They're pretty big too I think they can handle 2/300 pounds okay.
