We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Treaty Rock yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Beautiful landmark and a nice short hike.”

Very interesting small park on middle bridge rd. Amazing history, see pic. We initially thought the rock was one in a small grouping in front of the basketball court to the right of the playground park. But no...further up behind the court was THE ROCK!!! A path to the right leads you to it!

★★★★★ — Terry , Nov 2019

I grew up in the area and visited for the first time in decades. It's a shame the trail and rock itself is not maintained. There is history there that should be properly preserved.

Good park for playground and light trails to explore. The history behind Treaty Rock, also interesting, Google it!

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.
