Confirmed from Jordan Creek 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“Beautiful filled with beautiful nature scenes.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“It's mostly peaceful here great place for a short walk.”

This park it’s beautiful! The water it’s clear and the park has beautiful scenery and beautiful trails to walk or ride your bike! The park it’s a hidden jem. The city should put a bit more effort into it when it comes to landscape and maybe maintain the bushes and grass under control.

★★★★☆ — Saltlife , Apr 2021

Wow, this is an awesome place to hike or walk. You can get to the Home Depot from here. Watch for Flying Discs!

★★★★★ — Ric , Oct 2020

Beautiful local park, lots of activities. There is an awesome frisbee golf course, bike paths, walking paths, creek with fishing, community gardens as well as soccer and baseball fields.

★★★★★ — Jared , Oct 2016

Great place for disc golf. Take the kids and pets for a walk in the woods. This place is so big you could walk/jog/bike/play for hours

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.
