Confirmed from Sussell Park Trailhead'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 Sussell Park Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (12 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I recommend parking at the Althouse Arboretum if you want to add your hike by about a mile. There is many spots to park, whereas this trailhead location has only 3 car spots.

★★★★★ — Nicole , May 2023

Parking lot. Trails maintained fairly well. Turtles. Fishing permitted. Lots of birds. 2 ponds and sprawls run. Nice area for children

★★★★☆ — Dee , May 2025

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.
