Confirmed from Parktrail Open Space'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.
What runners say about Parktrail Open Space
“Always a beautiful view, I love to run here and it is beautiful (it does flood a little though)”
This trailhead gives access to the Trione-Annadel State Park from the "backstreet." Plenty of street parking available when I went there (but it was a rainy day). We walked up Rough Go trail to Ilsanjo Lake, and down Spring Creek trail.
If you want to stretch your legs, this is one of truly scenic places to go.

The practical stuff
- AccessDawn to dusk — the gates close, so do not plan a run that finishes after dark
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
