Confirmed from Springvale County Park North'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 Springvale County Park North
A terrific, fantastic park, esp. for anyone who enjoys mountain bike trail riding and disc golfing! Even offers a self-help, full service bicycle repair center at the south entrance. Impressive! One portapotty restroom at the south entrance, too. Approx. 1.5 mi.
A great park. Main trail about a mile and a quarter. There are non paved trails in addition to the main trail. Also available are bike trails, a large cover picnic area, outhouses and final a disc golf course. There even a self served bike maintenance kiosk.
This is a wonderful park. You can stick to paved trails or get off and explore on the many grass or dirt paths. I do recommend bringing a GPS or map in case you get turned around/lost if off the main path.
A great park with hiking and MTB trails. The main entrance has a toilet and drinking fountain in the summer.
