Confirmed from McFalls Park East'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.

“This is a cute and quiet park right off N.”

Nice small park about a mile trail down and back around the creek. Fishing was observed have to pull out rods to see what's biting. Big open grass field both sides. Baseball fields on opposite sides of the park.

Peaceful walks and ducks. There are picnic tables in a shaded area and the park is nearby.

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.
