Confirmed from Ten Mile Creek Preserve'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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“Although the trail is near a major highway, it is still relatively quiet and peaceful to walk.”

It's a small park area with a canoe/kayak launch and a hiking trail. The trail is not super long but it is nice

★★★★★ — Bridget , Feb 2023

This is a fantastic trail, descent length too. There are bathrooms at the beginning and tons of disc golf areas like TONS! Along the trail! A lot of the trail is shaded which is nice in this heat. We love to walk here as a family, My bf fishes the lake while my daughter and I explore all the nature.

★★★★☆ — Heather , May 2023

Lovely half mile nature walk. Beautiful and peaceful. I could not have walked this however, prior to my knee surgeries. Be aware that there are roots and some slopes, sand and maybe mud. That said, it was lovely and I'd go there again for a walk.

★★★★★ — Melissa , Feb 2022

Nice small trail you can go further but then it gets wild natural style, did .62 of a walk move inclines, views, and beautiful bamboo area. Great for kayaking will come back to try that.

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.

🏞️ Scenic views 12 mentions

“Great for dog walking, a little fishing or pack a lunch and have a seat on one of the two picnic tables or the bench overlooking the creek.”
