Confirmed from Heritage 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.
Lush trails around a creek linking a covered bridge to the ruins of a woollen mill.
What runners say about Heritage Park
“This is a gorgeous park with an elevated boardwalk to start off with which leads to a bigger trail through dense trees.”
“The trail is beautiful surrounded by trees making it shady.”
Heritage Park is a nature trail rather than a traditional park. Most of it runs along Nickajack Creek, which makes the trail a very scenic hike. The trail is not very long at just under 2 miles but it does connect up directly with the Silver Comet Trail for those looking to do a longer walk.
Beautiful area. You pull into Heritage Park and first thing you see is a nice wooden overlook. Then you walk a little and get down to this bridge that’s half a foot above water, it goes for a ways. I love a good bridge walk and water scene. The trail is easy to get around on, nothing too rocky or steep.
Great walking trail that connects to the Silver Comet trail. Runs along Nickajack Creek and has some old Cotton Mill ruins originally constructed in the 1800s. Not 100%, but I think the trail.is about 3-5 miles.
The park is quiet, the trail takes you deep into nature and it's beautiful.
