Confirmed from Maple View Park And Preserve'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.

What runners say about Maple View Park And Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (18 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful trail especially when the weather is changing and the leaves are Falling off the trees there was a tree down that was blocking one of the trails so we had to climb over it but the rest of the trail was pretty clear there are a lot of roots so be careful of tripping very nice trail very short

★★★★★ — Patricia , Oct 2023

Although this trail is right close to a housing area, don't be fooled. Once your on the trail its quite secluded and alone. Pretty heavy woods, and an area if ferns, that make you feel like your in Jurassic Park. Especially in Spring and Summer. Just about a mile long. Do it in both directions, for a different feel.

★★★★★ — Cheri , Sep 2022

Great park with playground and great nature trail just bring nice walking shoes and bug spray durning spring summer and fall they are there along with other great animals

★★★★★ — Dustin , Aug 2020

Cute small park with a nice shady walking trail, a little over a mile loop, couple picnic tables and shade pavilion at the start with playground and swings

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.
