Confirmed from Quail Creek State 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.
This park has a recreational reservoir for boating, fishing, swimming, plus picnic & camping areas.

Incredible experience. It is so beautiful here. It’s all mountain and the lake is truly blue. We kayaked and it was so much fun. The pictures we got don’t it justice. You can spend the whole day here. It was surprisingly not busy when we went.
If you’re looking to have a great time on the water this is the place to go. You have everything you could want to do within the state park here.Looking to relax on the beach and hangout with friends, this is a great place to go.
I didn't actually go into the park. I went to a stream where I actually waited in the water for a little bit. It was good for what it was.It was a rock scramble. Yeah, you need to bring your own shade If you're gonna hang out here.
