Confirmed from North Hydro 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.

Beautiful park with a nice trail. Had bathrooms and is open to the public.
My second time visiting was extremely impressed 👌 👏 Plenty of parking, restrooms extremely clean and well stocked. There are plenty of picnic tables & grills. Walking trails are perfect. There is plenty of wildlife to admire, from hummingbirds to bunnies, muskrat's. Great for spending the day fishing 🎣.
Stopped by whil in the area. Its a very beautiful park! It was very clean while I was here, and the trails were very nice and we'll maintained.
I love walking in this park. There are always people there fishing, jogging, or walking the trails 👣 . There is plenty of space to sit down to take in the scenery of the trees. I Love walking the trails and listening to the animals along with the sound of the water. Very peaceful park for me.
