Confirmed from Harry Larson County 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 Harry Larson County Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (16 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Love this park! Nice wide walking paths, there's a bench a little way down the path in case you need to rest. No playground, there is a porta potty/mini biff. A picnic table and a charcoal grill as well.

★★★★☆ — Susan , Oct 2022

Easy walk, moderate in spots. A little road noise, but otherwise peaceful and georgeous.

★★★★★ — Amber , Oct 2024

I love this place. Very peaceful and the trail is a figure 8 so you can't get lost! I like to hike here in winter.

★★★★★ — Emily , Apr 2024
