Confirmed from Herring Run Trailhead to Stream Footpath'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.
Kid-friendly park featuring hiking trails.
What runners say about Herring Run Trailhead to Stream Footpath
“I absolutely love this park, it is so calming, beautiful and lots of places to explore”
“I loved it, quiet, clean air… a nature jewel 💎 in the city of Bmore.”
Great place to walk in peace and solitude. General skill level, kid, and dog friendly.
We walked over 5 miles on the full loop of this trail. The trail itself was paved and went along both sides of the Herring Run. The trailhead and much of the trail could use some signage.
Excellent place in NATURE to meditate walk ,run ,ride bycycles or to relax. The other side where Parkside and shannon Drive is hot and new trees have been planted no shade, park benches need solar lamp post and the grills are to close to the trees that cause a fire.
A beautiful and serene place. You can feel the age of the surrounding forest here and the intention from those that chose this location for the trail.
