Confirmed from J.B. Hunt 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.
Massive, 200-acre mainstay for recreation, with sports fields, hiking & biking trails & swing sets.
What runners say about J.B. Hunt Park
“It had a great variety of shot shapes and is well maintained.”
“There is also Rabbitfoot Lodge on the premises, which is a beautiful old log home with a good history.”
“Really solid beginner friendly course.”
Nice park! Good place to run. I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it has gotten a little sketchier over the years. However, it is a nice place to relax. The picture is a pic of a bald eagle at the park.🦅 Great place for sledding when it snows!
J.B. Hunt Park is a beautiful park! It has a full Frisby Golf Course. I've actually seen a lot of folk enjoying it. A full playground. A track and field I believe. It's honestly quite large. Great trails for exercising or walking the pooch! It's become a regular park for my dog and I!
Beautiful park! Lots of nature! Big playground, bathrooms (with flushing toilets), drinking fountains, little fishing lake, great disc golf courses, paved and unpaved trails, and best of all, it feels really safe and family friendly.
Great place to walk and get exercise in, play disk golf, baseball, do some Photography, or wear those kiddos out on the playground. Photos by Faytown Photography
