Confirmed from Linn Run State 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 612-acre park with a babbling trout stream & falls, plus trails & camping facilities.

Loved the ambience in the park. If you are looking for peaceful get away for the weekend, this is the place to go. We were a group of 4 & luckily got to book a cabin just 2 days before memorial weekend. It was a rustic cabin though.
A huge park full of old trees, hiking trails and beautiful streams! We stopped here for a quick 3-mile hike while travelling through the area. Very cool place to stop for a picnic, for a hike, or to spend an entire day.
Relaxing, peaceful and perfect for the last summer family get away. Lots of hiking and exploring. Adams falls was very cool but busy. Close to Forbes and Keystone state parks.There were plenty of trails this so we went back to Wolf Rock Overlook another weekend. This trail was about 5 miles.
Beautiful park, reminds me of Tennessee. Lynn run is so pretty. I love all the rapids and little waterfalls. Adam falls and the rod and gun club ruins are less than half a mile to get to. The rocks and roots are trippy. There's signs warning of rattlesnakes. The bathrooms need a major overhaul.
