Confirmed from John D Caemmerer 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 John D Caemmerer Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (90 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 8 mentions

“There's not much to do here, but it's overall a very clean and nice park (minus all the geese poop in the spring).”

It is a relatively new playground with facilities right next to it. My only complaint is no enclosure to prevent children from running off into the parking lot.

★★★★☆ — Ralph , Apr 2019

Let me preface this by saying, I only come here so that my children and make use of the playground. It has a decent sized parking lot. Nestled in the middle of a beautiful community, is this little gem. Adjacent to a base ball field, you can enjoy a school game while your toddler run around in the play ground area.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
