Confirmed from Noden Reed 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Very quiet and beautiful.”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 5 mentions

“My dog loves to walk there other dogs love to walk there too.”

Local park. Not really much to do here except walk around the field. If they're doing an open house thing, I would definitely recommend checking it out, a lot of town history is in there and is pretty cool.

★★★★☆ — Kyle , Sep 2023

Beautiful place for a walk or outdoor family pictures. My family & I go here often and have been to a few events here as well, always a fun time.

★★★★★ — Monica , Apr 2017

The gravel trail, home and brick barn are all nice. The old bike trail and pond... Very eery, not at all like I remember it as a kid.

★★★★☆ — Matt , Aug 2021

Nice walk through, love the chickens and the trees the eagle scouts planted

★★★★☆ — Debbie , Mar 2019

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.
