Confirmed from Oneota 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.

Great wilderness park! Best in the area. I find myself returning here every so often. Good for a walk after a filling holiday meal.
We were here for a baby shower. The lodge is beautiful and clean, the yard would make a fantastic and gorgeous area for a wedding. There is a natural playground nearby for kids to run, jump, climb, crawl and get dirty. Tucked away on the edge of Spencer, it doesn't even feel like you are in town.
I went to a wedding reception. It's great for gathering. Very well kept. I guess they have beautiful trails too walk.
Clean, very nice facility. Gravel lane into place. Need s sogn by high school so easier to find
