Confirmed from McIntyre 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Quiet place,clean, ample parking and great views and wildlife.”

Great pond to walk. Clean picnic area, yet small. Clean, fun, and well kept 9 holes disc golf course. Small for a country park. Pretty for a municipality. Big dog area. (If your into that kinda thing)

★★★★☆ — Ryan , Aug 2023

Pretty nice park, alot of doggie drops on the trail showing unresponsible dog walkers, it takes 2 seconds and its ur dogs people....ty.

★★★★★ — Sean , May 2022

Love this place. Peaceful little place just outside the city. Small playground. Bluegill pond, paved biking/walking trail, pavilions.

★★★★★ — Jeff , Jul 2017

We came here for Scarecrow Saturday this year and had a great time! I've lived in the area for several years and though I knew the park and trail were here, this is the first time I made it it here. It's a beautiful park and a gorgeous trail. I am planning on coming back to take some Fall pictures with the kids...

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.

  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.

Posted hours for the park or trailhead. Gates and parking lots often close earlier than the trail itself, and seasonal hours change — worth a check before a pre-dawn or after-dark run.
