Confirmed from Samuel Butts Archeological 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.
Tranquil park known for its ducks and other birds, featuring an on-water boardwalk.
What runners say about Samuel Butts Archeological Park
“There are public bathrooms that appear well maintained.”
“I liked this park, so beautiful and we saw a lot of birds , some turtles.”
“If you're looking for a quiet peaceful place to walk this is it!”
My husband and I always have a lovely time walking around this park. Beautifully kept and the bathroom doors were FINALLY unlocked for use. Great day =)
This is a large park with a lengthy walking trail that encircles 2 ponds. There are public bathrooms that appear well maintained. Lots of birds including ducks and ibis. Use the parking lot on Bellevue Ave. The north parking lot is small, secluded and doesn't feel safe.
Nice walking trail. Ducks and other water fowl to be seen. Some outlook spots to read about historical events on location. Covered area for water overlook. Not much shade so if your there in the summer prepare with water.
Beautiful peaceful walk, birds, trees, some teenagers. I thoroughly enjoyed it withmy dog.
