Confirmed from Indianfield Bluffs 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 Indianfield Bluffs Park
“Very scenic with great views of the Kokosing River.”
“The trail was well-marked and the bluff overlooking the Kokosing River is a real treat!”
Very nice wooded park along the Kokosing River. Marked good with blue on trees to aid you in your walk. Various birds can be seen throughout the year. Whitetail deer are very common resting in the woods.
The parking area has 3-4 spaces. The trail was well-marked and the bluff overlooking the Kokosing River is a real treat!! I didn't go any farther than the bluff overlook due to mud and started to rain.
Isolated park. We accidently got off trail because the park boundaries are marked but a little confusioning. Once we found the trail it was a nice walk. It is marked with blue blazes. Toward the river it can be pretty steep.
I went exploring and found this park. The parking lot is small with room for maybe 4 cars. The trail takes you to a bluff overlooking the Kokosing valley. There is a picnic table and grill next to parking lot. The trails are steep and narrow in places. Be careful if snow covered or icy. Keep an eye on children.
