Confirmed from Otsego County 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 along the Mississippi River with paved trails, a children's play area, benches and picnic tables, and the opportunity to view and photograph wildlife.
Expansive open grassy field, nice playground, nice paved trail, newly constructed restrooms, and beautiful Mississippi river frontage.
Great place to run or walk. Groomed cross country skiing in the winter.
Lovely park. There is a nice playground for the kids. We rented a shelter for a birthday party, it was an easy process, clean and nice. There are paved, wheelchair friendly trails for walking. The views of the river are beautiful.
