Confirmed from Rum River Central Regional 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.
Big nature park offering river kayaking, hiking, skiing & equestrian trails, a playground & camping.
What runners say about Rum River Central Regional Park
“Such a clean, peaceful and quiet park.”
“Would love to come back when its warmer out but it was a beautiful park.”
“Such a clean, peaceful and quiet park.”
Great trails and I hardly see anybody else here. Enough area to not walk in a 5 minute loop. About 3/4 mile along the river.
Huge park with walking trails, both groomed and ungroomed, horse trails, a large Pavillion that can be reserved, a large playground, and a camp site for overnight canoers/kayakers and multiple spots along the Rum that will allow for fishing. The park is very well maintained. Enjoy!
I love walking all the different trails. Some are paved. Some are through the wooded areas. Love walking along the river. Always birds to see. Sometimes deer will come out of the woods.
We love going here anytime of the year! Sometimes we take our bikes on the fun trails or depending on the snow, for cross country skiing or snowshoeing!
