Confirmed from Tatum Park, Holland Activity Center'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.
Kid-friendly park with picnic tables, well-marked hiking trails, and a public restroom.
What runners say about Tatum Park, Holland Activity Center
“Beautiful historic residence; worked beautifully as the venue and backdrop for a wedding I attended.”
The Indian Springs, Holly trail and Dogwood trails are really nice. They get you deep in the woods. Please don't forget to go to the back of Deep Cut park which is right across the street. The garden, bonsai, coy pond, vegetable garden knomb hunt are all wonderful.
It is not a well known park ... but it is one of a kind ...if you like hiking trust me it is your place ...In a place you feel like you are in an amazon jungle and in another place you feel like you are in the prairie .... enjoy
Lovely place for a walk! Dozens of different trails to choose from. Easy to walk and beginner friendly! In spring and summer you'll see lots of tulip trees, milk thistle and red clovers.
Holland Activity Center is former summer home of Charles Tatum family. Parking area is a good access point to many trails of the park, there are a few picnic benches and nice restrooms in the center. Hiking is relatively easy even in hilly Tatum Ramble area since elevations are easy to handle.
