Confirmed from Heritage Park - West End'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.
Wooded park featuring trails, picnic tables, play areas and a fishing pond.

“Very clean park and have never spotted any sign of usage on the property.”
This is an excellent nature park with several dirt and grass trails. There are several boardwalks and bridges. Additionally there are restroom facilities and it appears picnicking opportunities. Great preserved area with access from Ottawa River trail. There is also parking lots at multiple entrance points.
A lovely spot for fishing and walking your dog even taking a walk on the trails the park is very pretty and well kept restrooms stay clean and there is a nice spot for children to play also many shelter homes through out
Great little park in Shawnee Twp. Great playground with padded rubber surface; Numerous grills, Nice walking trails, Nice pond to fish. Plenty of parking. Decent restrooms. I wish this park had more picnic tables and bbq stands.
We didn't get very far on the trail because it was very wet due to the recent rain, but I saw a deer hoof print in the mud,so now I can't wait to go back. Looks like a great trail. There was a nice playground for the kids too.
