Confirmed from Highmeyer 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.

What runners say about Highmeyer Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (15 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

It gets 5 stars because it is a huge chunk of land that is open to the public. However, there are some things to be aware of before visiting. First off, this is the poison ivy capital of Harborcreek. If you visit between May and November, you can expect almost every tree to be covered in poison ivy.

If you don't want to be bothered by many ppl then this is the trail for you. It is easy to get off the trail but I wouldn't say it's easy to get lost.. its a little wooded area! Explore and have fun!!

★★★★★ — Cee , Oct 2021

I enjoy hiking in the mud so I like this place. It's great when it dries out too. Nice trails and scenery.

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.
