We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Stonegate Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Stonegate Park
“great place to explore a little, it's one of the more beautiful places I've been to”
“It's still very peaceful and after just a few min walking there's an old bench near the bank of the water where you can watch the water rush over some big rocks.”
Tucked away past a large stone gate is a trail along the river. I've almost never seen anyone else there although fron the trail you can see the back yards of the nearest neighborhood.
Really remote location and you will literally blink and miss the turn if you are not paying attention. The trail is awesome as it goes deep east while you are walking and you have chill by the water. Great view of the houses..
Had fun riding my bike for the first stretch of land then "hiking" down to the river. Overall a very nice place to relax
Nice little trail with tons to see if you look, love the gates pulling in, parking is small be careful pulling in and out
