Confirmed from Linden 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.
Scenic, pet-friendly park with marked trails and a playground for the kids.
What runners say about Linden Park
“Not a very long path if you want a long run, but the neighborhood has some beautiful homes to look at if you want to extend your run.”
“Nice quiet park, trails are good for dog walking, and enjoy the peaceful waters.”
“They do have smaller trails that are not really dog walking trails or more for kids.”
A large park with a small playground. Many vast fields for whatever you like. Not very functional for formal sports though. Most of the park parallels the Rouge River and its quite verdant with the wood chip trail that meanders alongside the river.
This trail is beautiful. Some trees are labeled with their names. There are a couple spots where you can get by the water. My 3 year old had fun with that. Getting by the water we saw some interesting wildlife in and out of it. There were people running, walking, some with their dogs. Great trail!
Lovely walking and running area and good for dogs too! (Dogs MUST be on a leash, though). Not a very long path if you want a long run, but the neighborhood has some beautiful homes to look at if you want to extend your run. Look for parking NORTH of Maple Road.
Lots of activities for the kids. Plenty of trails for walking on but you cannot take your dogs into the back trail area. They do have smaller trails that are not really dog walking trails or more for kids. But they have a great play area as well for the kiddos.
