Confirmed from Krug 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.
Landscaped getaway offering a lagoon, trails, a playground, roses & a native animal exhibit.
What runners say about Krug Park
“He definitely knows the most beautiful places in St Joseph.”
Beautiful park, definitely worth visiting! Excellent place to take pictures, to go fishing with the kids, to get some hiking or biking in, to drive around and relax, or to have a picnic. The castle is super cool, driving underneath it was an awesome surprise!
Really nice place to go for a hike or picnic. Beautiful views. A must stop during Christmas time for not only the awesome lights but really good funnel cakes too.
Beautiful, unique park. Our family stopped here on our way through to SD. We enjoyed exploring the ruins and structures and walking up to the waterfall. The bathrooms are basic but they were clean. The pavilion and playground both looked nice, too. Highly recommend for spending a few hours or for a quick stop.
This is a great park. It has fun trails for hiking and beautiful old buildings. Great for pictures.
