Confirmed from Homer Hough Park at Sybelia Point'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.

A great little park. Not a lot of parking, and not a lot to do - but a fun playground, plenty of grass to run around on and covered places to hang out. Plus public bathrooms and good access to the lake - too bad the dock will only hold about two people fishing at a time and that the grass in the lake grows tall.

★★★★☆ — Robin , Nov 2017

Quiet place to play or explore the wooded area by the lake. Tons of little fish to see at the end of the dock, even without food to feed them. Great lawn to run around on.

★★★★★ — Alli , Aug 2016

Great park and perfect location. Wish there was a little more shade over the climbing frame but will definitely be coming back again!

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.
