Confirmed from Sell's Mill 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 9 mentions

“Beautiful hiking trails tucked away makes a nice little spot to sight see with a beautiful waterfall view.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Great for a short trip to the park if you enjoy peaceful and quiet nature!”

Small park with an old mill for a backdrop. There's not much to do. They do have a playground and a swing set. Also, a pavilion with tables. There are benches staged throughout, so you can watch the water. There is supposedly a walking trail but no signage as to where.

★★★★☆ — Pamela , Apr 2025

This is a beautiful Park with a pavilion with tables/fan/electric, playground, swing set, grilling areas, picnic tables and a beautiful Old Mill that I'm sure can be reserved and is open to see! Walking trails and bathrooms by both parking areas.

★★★★★ — Joshua , Oct 2018

Great little park. The playground could use some fresh chips but it's a great place for a lunch picnic and a short hike. Could use the bonds of the hiking property to be a bit more defined and have the trails marked a bit better but considering the lack of public stuff in the county it's great.

★★★★★ — Chris , Jan 2022

This lovely little park had a small but well-kept playground and a pleasant short trail through the nearby forest that goes along the creek. Great for a short trip to the park if you enjoy peaceful and quiet nature!

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.

“) On the left and sloping down a rocky hill is quite the picturesque scene: a waterfall flowing over a long stone wall and an old grist mill from the late 1800s.”
