Confirmed from Max Brandon 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.

“Looks beautiful and peaceful and clean.”

The park is ia nice shaded walk and there is a playground for the smaller kids. We just use it as an exercise place for our dogs that is safe without cars and a lot of people.

★★★★☆ — Ora , Aug 2018

Nice place to walk. But... One of the girls that walk here... Got her car window broke and her purse stolen! So it's like Park at your own risk! You can have your car broken into right in your driveway. 🤷 It's an even better walk when they clean the track and driveways.

I love this park it’s peaceful quiet safe I bring my dog there once in a while and I like just walking around watching the sun come up watching the sunsetting from the park beautiful God’s country love Michigan

★★★★★ — Jerome , Feb 2022

Good place to take a short walk. Had been cleaned up tremendously I'm the last two years. I always see children on the playground during the summer.

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.
