Confirmed from Peghorn Nature 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 scenery 3 mentions

“This is one of the most beautiful parks in Osceola County.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Such a beautiful and peaceful place.”

Nice small Nature Center in St. Cloud. Many things to offer like a Community Garden, Old School house with furniture of the times. An old canning Factory, hiking trails, three Boardwalks and an old Pier over water of a retention pond.

★★★★☆ — Soydebiekes , Feb 2023

Perfect place to getaway for a couple hours. Short trails, small wetland, benches, & plenty of shade. There is also a historical school house that was fun to look at. One of St. Cloud's hidden oases.

★★★★★ — Last , May 2021

This trail is especially nice in the spring. Lots of flowering plants. There is some really neat old buildings to go in and take a look, butterfly garden, chicken coop, nice trail and boardwalk.

★★★★☆ — Serena , May 2025

Cute little park with some more natural trails along with the manicured section. It includes an old school, a cannery, butterfly garden, lots of park benches and a community garden. Great place to take family photos

★★★★☆ — Mel , Nov 2020

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
