Confirmed from Hunts Mills 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.

The Clinton Conservancy and volunteers are planting butterfly gardens along the trail. Fitness stations were installed along the trail by the Rotary. Most gardens can be viewed while on the equipment. Great quiet place that many dog walkers visit.
Beautiful park tucked away in Clinton! There are a couple of ballfields and a great walking path with athletic challenges along the way. I'm part if the Clinton Conservancy that has created the Children's Garden
Beautiful 1.5 - 2 mile linear park. Great for bike ride or walking the dog (on leash).
