Confirmed from Newberry Recreation Complex'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 Newberry Recreation Complex
My husband and I just checked out the complex for the first time...took a nice 10 minute walk around Hidden Lake--Will be back!!
This is a beautiful, well thought out complex. The new shade structures really make a difference on sunshine filled days, grandma was extra thankful. The concession stand had so much more than a snickers and soda; the fresh hot grilled food was delicious and the staff were some of the kindest we've encountered.
This was a great place to walk my dog on the trails. I felt safe. The only thing I would recommend, since you do allow dogs, would be a fenced dog park that includes shade and maybe a a splash pool. Dogs like to socialize with other dogs and have the freedom to run off leash and the closest dog parks are in Columbia.
