Confirmed from Springvale County 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.

Tons of paved and unpaved trails to explore, lots of untouched prairie and forest. Disc golf course, picnic areas, fishing access. Lots of bugs! Bring the bug spray and enjoy though! Perfect place to take my daughters for bike riding, good walk for me.

★★★★★ — Joli , Aug 2017

Very nice park with walking paths and paved trails for biking. They are also set up for frisbee golf. Its easy hiking/walking for all experience levels. It has always been very quiet and peaceful when we have gone. Not too many people.

★★★★★ — Korie , May 2019

Awesome mountain bike trails that are well maintained. They are easy, but not dull. Lots of well placed advanced features. Great for kids and easy access to the paved trail in multiple spots whenever the kids are ready to head back. Bathrooms and a bike station right off the parking lot.

★★★★★ — Jordan , Jul 2023

First time that I have been here and it's just beautiful! If I played disc golf, I imagine that this would be a great attraction for that. The paved path is huge and in great condition. I enjoyed the many little cut through paths as well.

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.
