Confirmed from Huffaker 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.
A 9-acre park known for a 1.7-mile walking & running trail with scenic views & native plants.

Great entry level hiking area with many vistas and a windbreak made of stone at the to of the hill. A definite must do for any hiker of any level. Also as far as hiking trails go, this place is well kept with plenty of rest stops along the way. Seems like one of the main trails goes to Hidden Valley as well.
This park is great for the kiddos plenty of room to run, nice hiking trail, friendly people, two sides for playing/swings. My family enjoys this park🥰
This park is the best i have been in . Beautiful scenery,perfect for dog walks and hiking. I would definetly recommend.
