Confirmed from Louis W Scott Memorial 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.
Picturesque park that features well-maintained trails for walking and hiking, as well as a swimming area for dogs.

Hidden gem. Lovely, easy but relatively short walk along Ridley creek, with some side trails. Not far from route 1, so you can hear the traffic in certain places, but not too distracting, and is never crowded.
This is an interesting, small park that winds through a surprisingly diverse forest. It's low lying therefore muddy at times. Dog owners, be aware that there are often poorly supervised dogs off lead on the trails.
Very close to town, convenient and scenic place to take a short walk, hike, camp and fish. Be careful of the mosquitoes, ticks, spiders and other creatures when venturing into the park!!
