Confirmed from Silver Creek Metro Park - Pheasant Run Area'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.

The park has several trails and they are well maintained. We've enjoyed Silver Creek through all seasons.
Very easy natural and gravel 1.2 loop trail with options to connect to others easily marked by signs for the different areas. Very well kept trails. You will pass by a larger pond and a section of beautiful old pine forest.
Great outdoor place for the whole family! It was very clean and very quiet, had a wonderful time and the pavilion and a nature walk with my nieces
