Confirmed from Prout Farm 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 Prout Farm Park
Very nice nature trail. . Well-maintained. Lots of cool stuff to see while walking. Connects to Althouse Arboretum which has a wide variety of trees and plants, most have identification markers. Lovely walk on gravel trails. Activities along the route for young ones to be entertained by and to learn about nature.
Well maintained trails. Good trail markers. Wooded areas, Meadows and water
We had a picnic there today (there are 2 picnic tables right where you park), but we have also walked the trail a few times too in the past. Really peaceful and enjoyable park and very close to home. There is also a student-run organic garden at the beginning of the trail. Really nice park!
Stumbled onto this park. Seems that there is very little parking I think just 3 cars but it is very clean, there is also an area for a community garden and a very nice trail system that goes pretty far back Into the woods. Will definitely stop back again in the future
