Confirmed from Tice 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“A few steep spots but over all this is a very easy walk with a few nice view points.”

Great spot to duck away and forget the bustling world around you. Beautiful boardwalk over wetlands and pond. Not very large, but sometimes good things come in small packages.

★★★★☆ — Brent , Mar 2018

Always beautiful here! Still in town, but on the edge. Walking paths, boardwalks, benches and signs to educate help the walk go easy with kids. Plenty of wildlife and foliage, occasionally able to spot the local albino deer here too! Wild bleeding heart flowers bloom on an entire hillside if you're able to catch it.

★★★★★ — Katie , Mar 2019

Nice little hiking trails here. Watch out for poison oak though. There is a ton if you go off of the paths. The undergrowth is allowed to grow wild, so you wont be able to see the little pond at the parks center, it is still a very pretty outdoor trek.

★★★★★ — Kirk , Jun 2019

Nice park that appears to have several different well maintained trails you can walk on. Small parking lot with clean well stocked bathrooms.

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.
