Confirmed from Shorty's Pond (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.
What runners say about Shorty's Pond (Park)
Great trail; level and paved and dog friendly. About 1.5 miles round trip, out-and-back trail. Park on 5th St. at the trail head. Near the end of the trail, look across the road to see an elk farm. We saw several elk, all with large antlers.
It's a nice walking path. Very charming. But, the pond was disappointing. Needs alot of work. But, it was summer and water was low.
Plan your run at Shorty's Pond (Park)
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
