Confirmed from Nay Aug 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.

“With free parking and easy access, the park offers an enjoyable day out for visitors of all ages.”

Beautiful waterfall and gorge! Nice walk and hike to get to the falls and cross over the bridge to view the falls and gorge from multiple viewing areas. Park could use some repairs and graffiti removal. All and all a very nice park to enjoy for an afternoon. Nice 9/11 Memorial area, as well.

★★★★☆ — Gregory , Apr 2025

Nay Aug Park is one of the most unique city parks you can find anywhere! The park has a large gorge and waterfall that are easy to access off of the park's walking trails. On top of that there is a mine that you can go on that is open seasonally.

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.
