Confirmed from Lincoln Woods 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.

“Very reasonably priced location, the shelter had electric which was great for hot food, lots of things to do for kids of all ages and adults alike!”

This is a nice quiet park, with clean facilities, a shelter, baseball field and lovely play equipment. It is in great condition, clean and well kept. A fine example of Boone County parks. Fantastic place to take smaller kids as it has a small children play area as well as equipment for older kids.

It is a very nice place to have a picnic however, a chain was blocking the picnic area. Some people are old and can't walk that far. There were a few people who almost fell. We did have that reserved l believe. The Boone Highschool Alumni. Thanks

First time there will be returning soon. My child is 18 months and was able to run and play without worry all the children were well behaved and we we're there for more than a half hour without any issue

★★★★★ — Kayla , Apr 2019

Nice small playground tucked away in a small neighborhood. Our dogs enjoyed the paved walking path and our 5 year old had fun on the variety of playground equipment. Recommend!

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.
