Confirmed from Hisle Farm 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 Hisle Farm Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (45 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Lovely and serene, except for a large group doing weird military training.”

So far I have only run here and walked my dog around the trails. Both have been really enjoyable experiences, but the really interesting part about this park is the fact that you can trail ride a horse here. I've seen a few others riding but have yet to bring our horse out.

★★★★★ — Rick , Jul 2022

I love that there is some empty land for walking that isn't covered with flags, pavement and ball fields. Nature doesn't need to be augmented.

★★★★★ — Joe , Jul 2019

Hisle Farm Park is our favorite park in Lexington! It's a wonderful place to enjoy natural beauty, watch the seasons pass, and help our dog get tired. Miles of neatly mowed trails, an emphasis on native plants, and abundant wildlife

★★★★★ — Brad , May 2023

Still working to remove invasives. Great spaces; great potential. Not much shade in summer -- but great for a good leg-stretch, in winter, spring, and fall. Dogs (on leash) are welcome.

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.
