Confirmed from St Marks 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 St Marks Park
Nice small local safe park for all- from seniors to babies type park. Safe clean place to exercise, sit, think, relax, read or walk your fur baby. But folks should not treat it as if it's their personal back yard and be mindful of others please? 🙄
Big River Management Area has a Great Variety of running trails as well as one of the richest environmental parks ever.
