Confirmed from Upper Macungie 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.
Sprawling, verdant park overlooking a quarry, featuring athletic fields, picnic tables & a dog run.

Frisbee golf to hiking trails to dog park. This park is well manicured and clean. There are 2 dog parks one for large and one side for smaller dogs which is nice. Public picnic pavilions for rent summer BBQ time. On the other side of this park is a huge quarry.
Nice area to hike and geocache. There are pavillions and Frisbee disc golf. The first trail we were on turned into a bush-whack and led into the back of a yard. We bush-whacked back to the trail near the parking area. We hike a lot and have plenty of experience going off trail. Beautiful nature.
Short, hilly hike to a unexpected waterfall. Note: a steep walk downhill to the waterfall; you may need to work slowly so the gravel doesn't slide out from under you. Beautiful, totally recommend.
Upper Macungie Park is a nice little hidden gem in this area! Located in a scenic area, the park offers a wide range of amenities, including well-maintained playgrounds, picnic areas, and walking trails.
