We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of McCabe Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Park with stocked ponds for fishing, plus picnic tables, and a pavilion.
What runners say about McCabe Park
This is a nice little park with walking trails, some hiking trails (not sure if those are marked or not?) fishing, and rest areas. Lots of parking in 2 spots and looks like they are adding to this park or that'll be the water park? Either way, it's a nice area.
What a cool little park in such a convenient location! Grab yer’ fishin’ pole and enjoy watching the birds or go for a walk on the nicely paved trail ~round trip distance unknown~. There’s a hammock garden too! (So that you can bring and hang your hammock to enjoy that cool Arkansas breeze.)
It's great for walking or running the path and you get to see some nice sculptures/art along the way.
