Confirmed from Vermont 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.

“Nice walking track,fun stuff for the kids to climb on, and the bathrooms are clean”

We were visiting from out of town and needed a place for the kiddos to run steam off. Super nice park. We grabbed some fruit and sandwiches items at a local store and had a nice picnic for 2 hours. The kids loved the play ground.

My 3year old grandson and I love to play at this park,! Just wish instead of gravel it had the squishy floor. Nice walking track,fun stuff for the kids to climb on, and the bathrooms are clean

★★★★☆ — Mary , Oct 2021

Its an ok park for kids to have some fun.. not many adults go there alone unless it's to walk the track... Puppy dogs are welcome just bring poopy bags to pickup their messes..

★★★★★ — Corinne , Apr 2018

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.

The practical stuff

  • AccessDawn to dusk — the gates close, so do not plan a run that finishes after dark
  • SurfaceCrushed gravel — the rail-trail classic: softer than asphalt, still smooth enough for tempo work
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
  • Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
