Confirmed from The Parks at New Melle Lakes (North) Trailhead'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.

What runners say about The Parks at New Melle Lakes (North) Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (15 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice spot for a quick walk. The old road and trails are mostly shaded when there are leaves on the trees. There are a few small ponds and some pretty views by the creek near the end of Trail A.

★★★★☆ — Marie , Mar 2022

Great trails for hiking! And the leaves are so beautiful this time around.

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.
