Confirmed from Millrace 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.
Pet-friendly riverside spot featuring grassy areas, an arbor and an overlook to view wildlife.
What runners say about Millrace Park
“Beautiful and well maintained.”
Millrace Park has a large arbor that has 3 benches for you to sit on & a very healthy vining plant that covers it. There is a overlook platform that juts out by the mill- race that lets you observe the stream & plants & animals that live in the area.
It's very interesting to be at this park having pictures of the millrace and knowing what they did back when they used it to run the logs down the water it's strange to think of how they would have had to have done that back in the early 1920s I really like it
Wonderful park. Beautiful and well maintained. We just discovered the bike trails this weekend. Incredible!
Nice place, quite a few people, but there are places to go to be alone and chill. Very scenic
