Confirmed from Ozark Parks & Recreation'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.
Park featuring walking trails, picnic tables, and a public restroom, plus an outdoor pool.

Great place to bring your kids there is a lot of walking trails and a beautiful Creek. all the trails are well maintained there is benches all over.over all a beautiful place to set and think or get back to the woods I highly recommend
Walked the trail along the Finley River, about 9/10 mile one way, if you walk all the way up to the OC (Ozark Community Center). Mainly level sidewalk. Benches to rest on. Chinup bars, hammocks for rent and a place to hang them, a picnic pavilion you probably have to reserve.

- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
