Confirmed from Hidden Cove 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.
Quiet park featuring a dock, swimming, paddle boarding, and picnic areas.
What runners say about Hidden Cove Park
“Beautiful little hidden gem of a park that is well kept and clean.”
“In the middle of many boat docks, but quiet and next to Bainbridge Rec boating location.”
This is a sweet little park with a dock for hanging out, and it has 2 swim ladders. No cleats for dinghies, but you can tie to the walkway and get your pup to shore. The park has a very short hiking trail leading to a quiet Bainbridge country road. There is a bathroom at the park and a couple of benches....
Took the kids here for a brief evening dip to jump in the water off the dock. They enjoyed it and we found a little spot were we were away from the obnoxious teens (17-19) that were wrestling, running and throwing each other violently into the water...
Beautiful park. Small and very scenic. Great place to launch a paddle board or kayak...fabulous. parking available for approx 10 cars. Dirt lot.
