Confirmed from Quail Ridge 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.

well-maintained 5 mentions

🏞️ beautiful scenery 11 mentions

“There is a beautiful wooded path you can take through the wood where you're likely to see deer, a variety of birds, snakes, frogs, and all kinds of animals.”

We rode our bikes at this beautiful park. It is clean with restrooms available. You can walk or ride your bike on the trails. There is a large dog park and a couple of children's play grounds. It's a very enjoyable park. There is a covered picnic area and a Horseshoe Club building. I would recommend an afternoon visit.

BEST park in St. Charles County (and there are a lot of good ones)! Over two miles of paved paths through grassy areas and fields with wildflowers, along with additional wooded trails provide a pleasant experience for walking or biking. If you visit in the evening, you're likely to see a few rabbits or spot a deer.

★★★★★ — Marie , Jun 2018

This is an awesome park with tons of walking paths, both paved and unpaved, disc golf, picnic areas, playgrounds, fishing ponds, wildlife, horseshoes, a dog park, woods and wildlife.

★★★★★ — Chantal , May 2025

My favorite place to go for a walk!! It’s always beautiful and peaceful at this park!! The trail is easy for anyone to do! I like that it has some very small inclines on the walking path since I normally walk here for my exercise workout! Great little 3.5 mile walk!!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🐕 Dog-friendly 12 mentions

“There were pavilions with parties, plenty of parking, apparently a dog park but we didn't pass that, And we saw random picnic tables although under The pavilions there were many.”
