Confirmed from Natural Springs 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.

Nice little escape with paved sidewalks. Beautiful and refreshing park!

★★★★★ — Ekaterina , Nov 2021

Really nice park with plenty of paved walking trails. Big open space to fly kites, play ball or just picnic. Also a small waterfall and pond for fishing if you like.

★★★★★ — Jimmy , Nov 2018

Awesome little treasure in the Anna community. Great walking/ cycling trail. My little dogs loved walking through here, so many smells too sniff at! Some of the areas are in need of cleanup.

★★★★☆ — Chris , Mar 2021

Great park with peaceful tree shaded paths and a creek. There is a large grass area for frisbee, 🪁 flying, etc. Plus is a covered area in the back for small to medium sized groups.

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.
