Confirmed from Peter Jenkins Walking Trail'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 Peter Jenkins Walking Trail
“It was an absolutely gorgeous day and he had a blast playing by the stream and that big ol tree!”
Our favorite walking path. The creek is a plus. Beautiful every way you look.
This is a walk path that extends from Port Royal road through to Allendale Elementary school. At the entrance by Port Royal, there are picnic tables and a lovely shallow creek that is often used by children and families. The first portion of the trail is covered by beautiful aged trees, with lots of shade.
Located in the back of the Wingate subdivision in Spring Hill, this peaceful pathway is paved. It has several access points: use the left side sidewalk at Allendale Elementary, enter from the sidewalk at corner of Port Royal Rd and Bern Dr, or the cutout off Hayward Ln. they just recently repaved a portion of the path.
The trail has just been newly re-paved as of June 2023. It had a lot of tree roots growing under the path which made it very uneven and bumpy. It’s nice and smooth now! The trail isn’t very long but it goes all the way to Allendale Elementary from Port Royal road.
