Confirmed from McGraw Edison Recreation Area'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.
What runners say about McGraw Edison Recreation Area
“The creek, plants, wildlife and the peaceful sounds of nature are so relaxing.”
Great little park. Had no clue it existed and the trails are way longer than I was expecting. Among some of the best trails in the county.
A pretty nice walking and biking park. Lots of creek views with some pretty crossing. The water can get over 4 inches deep so warm days or waterproof shoes recommended. Very peaceful 🌄
Absolute hidden gem. Great trails, perfect loops for running or training for longer hikes with some decent inclines. Creeks twisting throughout. Gorgeous spring ephemerals!
Beautiful place to go hiking. The creek, plants, wildlife and the peaceful sounds of nature are so relaxing. It's a great place to escape the craziness of society.
