Confirmed from Ruble 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.

What runners say about Ruble Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (30 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Absolutely loved this new park! Lots of trails, some in the prairie, and some in the woods. Not a lot of people around, so there was plenty of from to be by ourselves. There were also fun little walkways, some informative signs, and some fun structures to climb and play on.

★★★★★ — Nathan , Oct 2022

Good parking and big selection of different trails to try out. Loved it! Dog friendly and clear paths. Make sure to wear sunscreen, there are some areas not shaded by trees and is in direct sun. HAVE FUN!

★★★★★ — Nienah , Apr 2023

Very great start to a new park. I can't wait to see what's to come. Lots of trails to walk. If you use the address of 400 E Dallas in maps you will end up at 4000 E Dallas. This is incorrect.

★★★★☆ — Dustin , May 2022

This place is amazing! It is rarely ever busy, the trails are clean, and many of them are shaded. my new favorite place to hike. Make sure to wear tick spray though!

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.
