We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Phelps Nature Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Other than that it was clean, quiet, beautiful, and would be a great spot for kids parties.”

A nice quiet area to take a short walk whether it's with your kiddos, your doggie, or yourself! Along the path they had several children's book stories you could read while you walked and it was pretty cool to see.
