Confirmed from Mulligan's Hollow'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.

What runners say about Mulligan's Hollow

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (525 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great people! Great place to learn is on the bunny hill! Rope tow so be prepared with gloves that can handle the Rope! All my kids love going here! We signed them up for lessons and we have had great experience with all of them so far! I can tell they really enjoy working with the kids!

★★★★★ — Dr , Dec 2021

We walk our dogs in the off leash area behind Mulligan's Hollow. You can park in the parking lot, or there's street parking on the otherside, on Lake Street. It's a nice wooded area with a lot of different trails to take. All the dogs we encounter have been friendly and the owners responsible.

★★★★★ — Danielle , Nov 2024

This place served as an excellent park with ski and snowboarding hills as well as hiking, bonfires, a skate park and more. It also plays host to Grand Havens famous Winterfest and home to the Coldwell Banker cardboard slead race. So much fun!!!

★★★★★ — Ali , Jan 2024

We visit the imagination station and it is a blast for kids under 7. In the winter the rope pulls and ski hills are a great way to practice skiing in Grand Haven. Absolutely worth checking out.

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.
