Confirmed from Mayo 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.
Small public park with picnic tables and a restroom along a river.

Use to be an amazing swimming hole when i was growing up. Now the county has let the water grow up with weeds.. So very saddening.. Still nice for a pic nic lunch to walk to the dogs..
