Confirmed from Hickory Glen 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.

“Well marked and easy to navigate trail system that crosses the paved bike path throughout the park.”

Clean, well maintained fields and trails. Bathrooms available. Concessions and food trucks on the weekends. Gorgeous setting.

★★★★★ — Amanda , May 2021

I visited for the Mt Bike trails.. Well marked and easy to navigate trail system that crosses the paved bike path throughout the park. I'd rate this trail as beginner to intermediate skill level. Careful where you park your car if the kids are playing baseball. Foul balls are common and you could end up with a dent.

★★★★☆ — Mike , May 2019

An absolutely gorgeous park with fabulous cycling, mountain biking and hiking trails. I grew up in the area, and know this park very well. Be careful about the bike paths, if you don't know the area you can easily get lost in the beautiful forest! It's not always a bad thing.

★★★★★ — Lauren , Mar 2014

Nice MTB trail. Lots of switches but very fun and well maintained trail. We ran right after quite a bit of rain and the trail was still in great shape.

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.
