Confirmed from Leakin 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.
Woodland park set on 1,216 acres with sports fields/courts, miniature trains & hiking/biking trails.
What runners say about Leakin Park
“Loads of forests and trees making the place a pocket of clean, cool air right in the shadows of Charm City.”
“Beautiful old historic park tucked away with a nature center, mansion, both forest and paved trails and not to mention a beautiful stream with picturesque bridges.”
“I bike through here all the time - even on the hiking trails - & it's as quiet as a cemetery.”
very nice oasis in the middle of the suburbs. The trails are more numerous and longer than I expected. The picnic area is very beautiful and has a garden which attracts butterflies. I didn't get to the waterfall this time.
One of Baltimore's best hidden gems. Beautiful old historic park tucked away with a nature center, mansion, both forest and paved trails and not to mention a beautiful stream with picturesque bridges. Walk the dog, jog, bike, roller blade, take pictures or go for a leisurely stroll
If you’re craving some Natural, raw outdoors hiking, this is the place to go! I actually got lost, all my fault, but it was still magically memorable, so much history in these woods.
Don't know what all the fearmongering hubbub is all about. I bike through here all the time - even on the hiking trails - & it's as quiet as a cemetery.🤷🏼♂️
