Confirmed from Potawatomi 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.

What runners say about Potawatomi Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

They just opened a grassy part and it is a nice stroll at night. Put some hiking shoes on and go for a stroll. Be very careful for ticks. We were out there maybe 45 minutes and came back with 3 ticks for walking just on the grass and not in the brushy part

★★★★★ — Jessica , Jul 2018

Great place for jogging smaller track and also ties into the canal hiking trail that goes for miles

★★★★★ — Doug , Jan 2019
