Confirmed from Sautter Memorial 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 Sautter Memorial Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (26 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great small park with well maintained trails, several footbridges, and a stream. The short loop is about 0.5 miles long, and the long loop is about 0.7 miles long. Both trails start and end at the parking lot.

★★★★★ — Kris , Jan 2022

Strictly a walking / hiking park. There is a small parking lot, 1 picnic table/ w no seats. The trails are easy and stone covered thru an eighty acre woods. Plan about an hour here.

★★★★☆ — Steve , May 2023

Very relaxing place, comfortable walk , enjoyed all of the nature walk . Thanks To The Sautter family for the walk .

★★★★★ — Lois , Sep 2019

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.
