Confirmed from Scott County 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.

“Family friendly, clean and well kept.”

Beautiful little park. There are two ponds to go fishing in. There's a nice trail to walk, run, or ride your bike on. It also has several ball diamonds. Along with a small dog park. And a nice playground area.

★★★★☆ — Chris , Jul 2023

This is a pretty place with lots of green space, walking paths, and a lake for fishing. There is a Port A Potty, but I didn’t see a bathroom with running water there. I didn’t realize it’s connected to Charles Brooking Park, which has a playground and ball field.

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.
