Confirmed from Swine Creek Reservation'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.
Public park featuring family-friendly hiking trails, picnic areas, and a playground.

I love this park, it is quiet, has great trails and a wonderful updated lodge. It is family and pet friendly with different trail options for everyone.
I had no idea this park existed and I am so happy I know now! The trails are great and well kept. Great place to go sit and listen to some birds and look for critters.
Always clean and well kept great please for a hike. Not usually too busy.
A beautiful somewhat hidden space where one can take a very leisurely walk through the woods and listen to the sounds of the forest. Our walk took us past numerous maple trees that were set up for harvesting the sap to make maple syrup. It's also a beautiful place to have a picnic.
