Confirmed from Schekelhoff 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.

Love coming here with my son. Glad this path is so close to where I live.

★★★★☆ — Adalia , Nov 2022

Schekelhoff never disappoints. One of my favorite places full of so many fun memories! Highly recommend stopping here to take a walk and watch the river.

★★★★★ — Tess , May 2021

Nice smooth paved path in first part gravel or grass later on, very nice place. I came in late fall and really loved it here. Once you get farther in or it's the river is high you can't hear the cars for the water. It's a lovely long easy walk with benches placed around a few places.

★★★★★ — Troy , Nov 2020

Half paved/half stone straight trail. Plenty of trees, plenty of river. Meadow land available as well. Benches and lookouts throughout. Great location for a peaceful stroll with the family or even for some quiet introspection.

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.
