Confirmed from Seidman 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.
Wooded natural area with walking trails, popular for cross-country skiing in winter.

“Very nice trail very well marked.”
Large park with many walking trails. Parts of the trails were a little icy with the snow starting to melt but not fully melted, but that's what happens when hiking in February.
Favorite park to hike. Quiet. Stream and various color coded trails. I can walk for hours here & not get bored. TIP—> lots of dogs on trail! Be aware, and enjoy training your pup here! TIP—> some edges of woods have poison ivy. Simply wash potential shoe exposure or area with soap right away. Watch steps!
Nice wooded hiking trails. Easy terrain. There is a pretty creek that is nice to just sit by and relax. There are benches along the trails. It's dog friendly with a leash. We saw a deer and many squirrels. My cell phone comes in, so I feel pretty safe. My grandaughter and dog also loved the trails.
Beautiful place to hike and take the dogs. Spring, summer and early fall don't forget the bug spray. Worth the trip!!!
