Confirmed from Mount Nebo 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (106 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“It's very pet friendly and clean.”

Had a lot of fun at the dog park. All the other dogs were patient t with my pup and she had fun running around once she warmed up to them.

★★★★★ — Andy , Jun 2021

Nice compact dog park. The dogs were so nice to meet there! The trails are a bit disappointing however. Good place however.

★★★★☆ — Iso , Feb 2020

Love this place. Great place to do walking, the kids have the ball fields. One of Manchesters treasures.

★★★★★ — Kyle , Nov 2021

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.

“This park is right above charter oak and has a very nice dog park and fields for baseball and football as well as a fresh water spring available from spring to late fall.”
