Confirmed from River Styx 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.
Dog-friendly park with a paved trail around a fishing pond plus playgrounds and picnic spots.

This is a nice sized local park. It has a nice paved walking trail that goes around the fishing pond. It also has unpaved hiking trails in the woods, and through an open field. There are also a few swings, a rentable pavilion with picnic tables and a large outdoor grill, and bathrooms too.
So beautiful! Loved all the different trails. The blue had so many beautiful fall plants and the red trail was a nice wooded one. We saw beautiful swans swimming around in the pond or lake. Just a very nice walk. There are also swings here.
This park is absolutely gorgeous, especially in the fall. There is a pavillion, walking trails, fishing pond, swing set, as well as walking and nature trails. The walking trail portion is paved. The pond boasts friendly swans and geese looking for handouts.
just a nice place to come waste a day fishing or a short walk… there’s a paved 3/8 mi trail or i paved is about 2/3 mile if you don’t mind a few smaller hills. birds and wildflowers aplenty, and on a foggy cool fall morning, perfect little walk to get out of the house and moving!
