Confirmed from Mason-Dixon 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.
Serene park boasting a fairy trail and a playground as well as picnic tables.
What runners say about Mason-Dixon Park
“The park was very nice, well kept and everything was clean, no debris at all.”
“A beautiful place for family gatherings with 3 pavilions”
“Nice, quiet park not too far from Morgantown.”
Beautiful, well-kept park with great trails. You could do some serious hill training here! Fantastic.
Very beautiful park. They had a couple of really nice swing sets and pavilions that were having parties. There is porta potties up in the hill if needed. Very clean and well kept. The trail itself had 5 different paths, each marked by colors on the trees. They also provided small maps to help with directions.
Great park with plenty of fun things to do! For the reviewers that are saying there isn’t much to do- they must not have explored far outside the parking lot. River access, playgrounds, pavilions, ball field, basketball court, and many trails to hike/run.
An absolutely beautiful place with so much to do. Has two nice playground areas. The fairy trail was a lot of fun and adorable. The kids loved it. Even the bathrooms are very well maintained and clean. It's a really good place to go for an adventure.
