Confirmed from Holes Creek 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 Holes Creek Park
“Great paved walking path that winds back through gorgeous lush pollinator gardens and over a few winding creeks.”
I usually go walking every weekend and I like to try new parks and trails. I enjoyed this one very much.
Nice walking/bike path. Easy 30 minute walk round-trip at moderate pace. Scenery, and most users are friendly. I have walked the path as well as biked the path. Full sun exposure.
Great walk on a cold spring day because woods on both sides of the path block the wind pretty good. Against a creek so you can see ducks, birds and lots of little critters.
Very nice little park wide paved trail. There's a large variety of wildflowers.
