Confirmed from Hickory Valley 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.

“Very beautiful And extremely peaceful Did some fishing while I was there”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“I have to go early as my fog is not so friendly but we enjoy the quiet it's like our own private retreat.”

A very small city park in Stroudsburg, PA. Runs along McMichael's Creek and has a single (relatively flat and smooth) trail through it which runs along the perimeter of the Glenbrook Golf Course. Overall a very nice place, especially if you're short on time and just want a pleasant stroll.

★★★★★ — Alan , Dec 2016

Really small "park". Just some picknic table next to the creek. No place to walk dogs but there is a field to play some games.

★★★★☆ — Andrew , Oct 2018

Beautiful place...... We took a quick trip just to let the pups run around with the kids in the creek and the open field... We will definitely go back for a longer visit.

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.
