Confirmed from Rogers Fort Hill 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.

This is a great place for a nice walk with your dog. Their are other people that walk their dogs as well. Be careful of some dog owners whom walk their dogs off leash. So, if your a bit uneasy just be prepared for that.

It's a peacefully serene place to walk around in the trails in the wooded area... There's plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the weather while watching the large fountain there's a large grassy area the kids can play there , you could bring your family and bring a basket/picnic for lunch or dinner what ever time you…

★★★★☆ — Christy , Apr 2017

Good park, has grills for cooking, a child's play area, but I really like the exercise stations throughout the trails you can stop and perform the various exercises...the only negative here for me, is not enough clean up and cutting of the grass and trees in the spring and summer.

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 15 mentions

“Perfect place to walk your dog, go for a jog or just sit and enjoy the sunset.”
