Confirmed from Homestead Hollow County 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.
Dog-friendly park with a playground and scenic walking paths.
What runners say about Homestead Hollow County Park
“Great for a party that you plan, organize & clean up.”
“This gorgeous park has an intricate trail network leading through beautiful wooded areas and scenic ponds.”
This gorgeous park has an intricate trail network leading through beautiful wooded areas and scenic ponds. Although it’s a rectangular-shaped park, it doesn’t feel like one. Its designers have managed to fit lots of recreational options inside it.
This park is SO beautiful. We stopped to meet up with our cousins as they took some FALL Anniversary Pictures. The trees were changing so beautifully. A wedding was happening in the Barn. I only saw a very small portion of the park but the paths, bridge and pond were enough for me to fall in love. What a treasure.
An excellent peaceful place. A lot of space for dog walks and play. There are paved walking trails. The restored barns can be rented. There's a pond (no swimming) and playground.
Solid park adjacent to a river. Easy going trail hiking through the woods. Plenty picnic tables for big gatherings. Playground for kids. Large, clean bathroom facility. Lots of parking.
