Confirmed from Terrell River County 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.
Park offering wooded hiking trails with bay views, picnic tables, and a beach.

Terrific county park to visit any time of the year. While it does not have much of amenities besides parking lot and few benches along the trail, there is Kalers Pond park right across the road with restrooms and playground.
These are nice trails with a few different options that can lead to a nice water view or a Beach area. The main issue is the trails are unmarked and I've gotten terribly lost for an extended period of time. One of the trails is significantly shorter then the other but it is not marked.
