Confirmed from Sugar Run Creek Trail - Pymatuning State 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.

★★★★★ — R. , Aug 2023

Honestly I was just looking for a trail to run my 1/10 scale trail trucks and found an awesome little spot to have some fun at. Trails are easy to follow and pretty open. Great fishing I'm told. Definitely goin back again.

★★★★★ — Elsie , Jul 2023

Picturesque view of the river from the bridge. This area is a popular location for short hikes, fishing, launching kayaks and canoes, picnicking and photography. Pack a lunch, take the kids and don’t forget the camera. There is also a public park restroom located in the parking lot as well.

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.
