Confirmed from Vickery County 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.
What runners say about Vickery County Park
Calling this place a park is quite a stretch, I think “preserve” would be more fitting. First off, the access is confusing, thankfully I have an app that shows where property lines are so I was able to discern that the road NW of the park is where you head in.
Trail conditions & character
“Second, you need a high clearance 4wd vehicle if you want to take the path all the way down to the river, it’s quite steep in some places.”
