Confirmed from Troy Trails' 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Thank you for such a beautiful place to retreat to outside the big “jungle of buildings” … nature is so refreshing and rewarding.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

Clean, peaceful path. Hard to believe you are still in the city. Be sure enough to find the large pond.

★★★★★ — Kevin , Nov 2022

Beautiful, but short. I think it's about 2 miles round trip. Partially covered, and absolutely gorgeous. Especially when you get to the water part. No easy parking options though. I normally park at the Catholic church nearby. I walk here often after work. It's rarely crowded. Highly recommend..

★★★★★ — Jamie , Jul 2020

Great trail with lots of wildlife and natural scenery. Pin on map is in an odd spot since there is no parking near that location, but I ended up making my way to the dog park on livernois and got on the trail from there.

★★★★☆ — B , Sep 2019

Great trail. I appreciate the other dog owners who follow the leash law and are willing to give you space when training your dog too. Thank you for such a beautiful place to retreat to outside the big “jungle of buildings” … nature is so refreshing and rewarding.

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.
