Confirmed from Shiloh 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 quaint little park”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Clean, quiet and secluded.”

This great little park is super close to my son’s preschool and was the perfect place for the school picnic. The playground was a decent size, so there was plenty of entertainment for the kiddos. Not to mention tons of green space for running around. There’s a shelter that you can rent and it has about four grills.

★★★★☆ — Katie , Sep 2019

This is a good place to go for family.Cook outs and get togethers. Not much parking , so you have to walk for distance

★★★★★ — Melanie , Jun 2026

Very nice park. Spring-fed creek that my Shih Tzu, Allie loves to drink from. We walk there regularly.

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.
