Confirmed from Mound Zion 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.

“The park is absolutely stunning and a great trail to go on”

Loved finding this park today; wooded with paved and unpaved paths. Beautiful escape.

★★★★★ — Amanda , Jul 2020

Nice circular walking path through the woods. The entrance to the park is oddly tucked away in a neighborhood but the park does offer a woodsy experience. Saw a deer and coyote on my last trip.

★★★★☆ — Michael , Jul 2022

Great trail. Used to venture back there occasionally as a kid in the 80’s. We would cut through there to camp Journal subdivision. Very spooky if you were by yourself.

★★★★★ — John , Mar 2020

I love this park! It has a paved trail as well at a natural trail or 2. The trails are not incredibly long but my dog gets a good walk.

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.
