Confirmed from Trail at John Hargrove Environmental Complex'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 Trail at John Hargrove Environmental Complex
“Beautiful place with nice clean wide trail.”
“The trail is miles long and there’s beautiful scenery along the way.”
“Great place for a walk(/ride/run if so inclined) while bird-watching!”
Good place to walk and jog. The trails curve around two huge ponds with trees and birds. There are no lights along the trails so it's best to visit during daylight. There is a restroom and water fountain on-site in the nature center building near the parking lot. Wear shoes and socks if you are going to walk or jog.
Nice walking trail with gravel instead of concrete which is nicer for the pup when it’s hot out. You can walk around both ponds which is about 1.5 miles or there’s a path that goes between them if you want a shorter walk.
This is a very nice spot to come to for a walk! The trail is miles long and there’s beautiful scenery along the way.
I’ve been coming here for years, it’s perfect for a run. Lots of birds and beautiful views. Also a good spot for fishing or even a picnic. Only downside is when you go through the side right behind the recycling center it smells.
