Confirmed from Masters 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.
What runners say about Masters Park
City park trail that leads up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Trail connects to the Mountains-to-Sea trail just south of the Haw Creek Overlook. Parking is limited and can be difficult (along the side of the road).
Nice little park on a lake. You walk thru wetlands and bird habitats. Good way to spend half an hour
Small amount of parking. Well maintained trail. A nice resource for the neighborhood.
Nice hike, hard too. It's over a mile with a fairly steep incline most of the way.
