Confirmed from Reibel Woods' 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Beautiful field out front.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Calm creek running along there from water run off.”

Almost nobody ever there, Police or maintenance always passing through it. Very safe trails.

★★★★★ — Drew , Sep 2021

I am giving this place a 4-star because if you are looking for something that is in the woods with some mud in the trails this is the place to go it is a very small Trail but it drops you off right into the river and it is a fun experience to take kids and get them used to Nature

★★★★☆ — Renato , Oct 2018

Great little hiking loop around Hayden Run. Can be a quite muddy in the spring, best time to visit would be summer or winter.

★★★★★ — Alamir , Mar 2021

A bit messy but a well shaded path. Calm creek running along there from water run off.

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.
