Confirmed from McGinnis Reserve'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.
Hiker-friendly, dog-friendly park and trail system featuring a lake, woods, and paved paths.
What runners say about McGinnis Reserve
“This is a very clean high-quality park with many amenities that has a good picnic area Waters close very clean please come visit”
“I couldn’t tell if this was public or private, but I walked around the beautiful lake with a fountain.”
“It’s a great park for walking and running.”
“Beautiful place, peaceful and a great place to take ur evening walk”
A great park for a lovely stroll, walk, run, bike, etc. especially this time of year where it’s not too hot. There’s a little playground near the parking area for the kids. We didn’t walk long since our toddler was getting tired but would definitely come back. It’s a well maintained reserve.
Great place to walk or bike. Found a cool spot to cold plunge in suwanee river!!
Fantastic trail. Well maintained. Good parking space. The only issue is that the first 200 ft you walk on the sidewalk of a busy street!!! A wood walkway could be build a little bit more inside.
This place is really just a section of Suwanee Greenway between McGinnis Ferry Rd and Annandale In. The Greenway runs from George Pierce park to Suwanee Creek park
