Confirmed from Hibernia 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“The park boasts a variety of trails, catering to all levels of hikers.”

One of my favorite places to hike or just to sit and decompress in nature. If you drive around near chambers lake you’ll find this wonderful quiet trail that hardly anyone frequents. The views are amazing and lots of Jasper and quartz crystals can be found too.

★★★★★ — R , Oct 2023

Stunner of a park. Well maintained with beautiful manicured hiking trails throughout. There is access to fishing, boating, biking, birding and camping. Picnicking, youth fields and playgrounds is also available.

★★★★★ — Edward , Jan 2023

Nice park with trails, play ground, camping area, a lake for fishing and boating, historic mansion, childs fishing pond, restrooms, live bait and many labled trees. Very few people midweek as camping is only open on the weekends. Hibernia Mansion has tours on Sundays.

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.
