Confirmed from Richfield County 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“You can easily spend hours here and still happen upon beautiful places you haven't seen before.”

My dog loves this park. It is her favorite spot in the world. There are a number of interconnected trails back in the woods that run along the river. You can easily spend hours here and still happen upon beautiful places you haven't seen before. Great place to hike, bike, kayak, snowshoe or have a picnic

I’ve been going to Richfield Park since I was very young. The park has lots of walking paths, trees, pavilions, tennis 🎾 courts, basketball 🏀 courts, a BMX park and a playground area. The park is well maintained and has Porto-potties available.

★★★★★ — Angela , Sep 2022

Great trails to Jog. Very peaceful. Good views. Lots of nature. I frequently see deer, hawks, cranes, squirrels and chipmunks. And today a cat!

★★★★★ — Matthew , Oct 2023

Pro tip: Save on gas driving up north for the tunnel of trees, and drive through here when the autumn leaves turn. This park is very special to me and I cannot recommend it enough. I also recommend the trail across from it heading west towards Vassar, Belsay and Genesee roads.

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.
