Confirmed from Oglebay Park Wheeling, WV'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.
Relaxed area featuring hiking trails, a zoo and a golf course, plus tennis courts, pools and mini golf.
What runners say about Oglebay Park Wheeling, WV
“Beautiful Oglebay Park where you could not take a bad pic even if you tried, especially a pic of the most adorable couple newly married under the arbor 🧡”
We love attending during the Festival of Lights! Gorgeous light show outside of the mansion that coincides with the music. Lit up flowers all along the path in front of the shops, and leading up to the mansion. Gorgeous flowers in the greenhouse and lots of pretty photos to take.
We spent the entire day here, there is so much to do! Hikes, lakes, waterfalls, mini-golf, boats, pool, everything! Great place to bring kids and family.
Absolutely gorgeous! So much to do here Hiking, swimming, golf, mini golf, pedal boats, kayaking, Segway, rock climbing, diving range or just sit back and enjoy the beauty! Deer were so docile. I can't wait to go back and explore some more.
