Confirmed from Teal 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.

Nice little place to stop and catch your breath on a walk through downtown horseheads. Some times they also have music concerts.

★★★★★ — Dean , Jul 2021

Great place for a walk. It's close to home, there's little traffic (depending on the time of day) and the scenery is nice.

★★★★☆ — Jamie , Feb 2017

Quiet, gerat spots of sun shine or shade. Perfect for eating lunch, reading a book or just relaxing and enjoying nature.

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.
