Confirmed from North Platte 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.

★★★★★ — Tammi , Mar 2023

The North Platte Park in Casper is a great place. It is along the walking path behind the North Casper softball fields (another great place to hang out). The North Platte Park is a wide open area to play or just to hangout and watch the people or animals.

★★★★★ — Doug , Feb 2019

Great place to walk a dog. Very pleasant walking trail. Disc golf course set up.

★★★★★ — Dennis , Jun 2019

One of our nicer parks . . There's not alot to do right around the bridge area it's mainly just a big hiking trail ,through and around the wood.

★★★★★ — Joshua , Apr 2018

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.
