Confirmed from Straight River 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 Straight River Park
I grew up on this plot of land - I was surprised to see it's now considered an official park. A beautiful area with a twisting, turning maze of trails through the wooded landscape.
A great place for getting away outdoors. Always fun to just walk the trails.
