Confirmed from Mine Falls 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.
Vast, natural riverfront oasis featuring forest trails, sports fields & outdoor activities.

I loooveee going to mine falls! It’s absolutely my favorite place to go to exercise/and or walk. I love seeing all the animals. The trails are beautiful. There is all different trails that you can go on.
The park was lovely! The trails were well kept and everyone there was respectful. There was so much wildlife! A great place to birdwatch. You can even see fish in the water. I had a great time, I'll definitely be back next time I'm up that way.
Great place for hiking. There are few trails, and you can choose what distance you want to walk. Walking next to the river is beautiful. We did an easy walk with a baby and a stroller. It was amazing.
Beautiful trails for the area. There are many trailheads to access the trails within the park. A full loop is about 5 miles, but there are many options to customize the route to your needs. Most of the trails are level terrain, wide and easy to follow. There is one section (Purple trail I believe) that is paved.
