Confirmed from Stebner 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.

“Beautiful walking trails!”

Great place to come for a picnic on the grass. Kids have plenty of space to run, and there's a small playground they can play on if it isn't too busy with this COVID crud going around.

★★★★★ — Cassandra , Aug 2020

Beautiful walking trails! We actually went up there to escape the cold windy weather down by the lake, and it was nearly 10° warmer, less wind and sunny! Crazy!

★★★★★ — Angela , Jun 2022

Beautiful park! The trail is really nice, but it has a really steep hill! So keep that in mind. Considering your ability and what you are wanting to use it for (i.e. walking, biking, inline skating, etc.), it may or may not be the best fit.

★★★★★ — Michaela , Aug 2024

Good place to bring the family for a walk or bike ride. If you have little ones there is a playground for them. Several fields to throw Frisbee or kick around soccer ball or just eun wild and burn off some energy.

★★★★★ — Terry , May 2022

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.

🛣️ Paved surface 7 mentions

“I assumed because it was a paved path it would be perfect to practice inline skating, but it was way too steep—I ended up biffing it halfway down.”

“Parking was great, not too far from the fields, 2 Porta potties for our tournament made it so there was never a line.”
