Confirmed from Seton Falls 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.
City park featuring forestlands, a manmade waterfall, bird observation & a playground.
What runners say about Seton Falls Park
“Beautiful walking wildlife, yet small, in the middle of the city, I lived the water stream, water falls, and the vegetation is maily untouched.”
Nice park if your looking for a small park to take your kids to that doesn't have alot of kids this is the one very peaceful it also has a trail you can take to get a bigger park with alot more kids there. But this one was very nice my children were the only one there at the time.
There is a lot of parking around the edges of the park even if they don't have a dedicated parking lot. The trails in this park are wide and paved. They have all the trails marked and mapped so you won't get lost on your stroll. It's a nice place to just unwind and take in some scenery.
What a lovely park! My family and I was looking for a nice park to go and eat our food we had just got from the Jerk Center. The park is like 7 minutes from there. It’s very clean and has nice trails, a creek and a little waterfall. So cute! It’s also a great park for kids because it has a playground and sprinklers.
Be mindful of deer sightings! If you're fortunate, you might observe them up close. The trails are not particularly challenging, and the volunteer work is not physically demanding. Overall, I rate the experience 4 out of 5.
