Confirmed from Harmon Patridge 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.

“Peaceful vibe spacious a gem I didn't even bout til this say a must revisit”

I thought the bank he was Green Meadows but that doesn't matter. The park is clean with great views. Have had a few family reunions and open houses there which are free to use, you just need to make a reservation. Awesome place to take a walk with my girlfriend and dog.

I walk here almost everyday. I dont know if it closes I always leave at dusk. Its beautiful, nice view of the river, benches and seats all around, 3 large pavilions and grills in many places. Amazing! Great for pets too!

Beautiful Park that I used to go to as a kid,when it was called Green Meadows. Next to a river. 10 min from Owosso just off the hwy. Dog friendly. Paved walking paths.

★★★★★ — Laura , Aug 2024

Hidden treasure at the edge of the city! It's huge & not busy. Good paths, benches, grills, pavilions, playground. Awesome old growth trees so glad they haven't chopped them down. Several places to get down to river. Go all the way to the back over the bridge you'll find a huge pavilion & dirt trail if you desire.

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.
