Confirmed from Hobb's Woods' 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.

“The trees and flowers are blooming - it's such a peaceful hike!”
Bugs weren't bad at all today! The trees and flowers are blooming - it's such a peaceful hike! There's soooo much to check out and loads of little wildlife 💚💚
If you’re a local, then you know about Hobb’s - or you should! It’s a great place to take a short, but not too short, walk through the woods. Bring the dogs or kids, too! The paths and bridges were recently updated and are well maintained.
A quiet, dog friendly place. Hearing the trickling of Parsons Creek. It's so relaxing. If you're into fishing, there are nice little pools to try your hand at fly fishing. It is a wooded 60 acres for trail hiking, adventure, and nature lovers alike. Enjoy, and please pick up after your dog and yourself.
Off the beaten path but well worth a short drive. Nice wide foot paths and plenty to see and enjoy. I will definitely be back with my kids.
