Confirmed from Rock Park Walking Trail'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.
Scenic walking trail on hospital grounds featuring views of mountain ranges.
What runners say about Rock Park Walking Trail
“The 360° scenery is stunning with views of several mountain ranges and a great place for both sun rise and set.”
This is a great place for folks concerned with safety. The surrounding hospitals and business offices offer a public setting but is secluded enough to enjoy the solitude. The trail is slightly inclined and lightly gravelled. Great for those with disabilities and mobility aids.
This is a great place to walk and enjoy the day. It's a short drive off of State of Franklin and you can park outside the Wellness Center and take the stair path that leads into the park. You can have picnics on the large rocks and have a decent view of the surrounding area.
Well kept. Nice trail. Couldn’t ask for more. The kids loved climbing on the rocks. There was a bench as well and a gorgeous view of the mountains.
Nice trail. I would go again, but there needs to be better signage labelling the park. If there were any signs at all I didn't see them.
