Confirmed from W.C. Johnson 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.

I love this park a lot. It's got trails to walk and ride bikes. I always bike the trails. It's also got baseball fields, open grass area, fishing ponds, soccer fields, and more. There's also a Boardwalk that goes through the woods, all the way too the Wolf River.

★★★★★ — Logan , Feb 2019

Beautiful place! I can not describe with words how amazed I was when I came to this park. It has very nice view anywhere you go. Water park for kids, wooden bridges and trails along the River and has several ponds.

★★★★★ — Teri , Jul 2022

Boardwalk is nice, the walk along the river has a rather unspoilt natural feel to it. Great place to explore on bike as well. A few spots have access to the river too, although not sure if it is safe to get into water

★★★★☆ — Ashutosh , Aug 2023

Park has synthetic turf for soccer, football, lacrosse. Also other grounds have baseball. A beautiful lake and trail walkway in the woods.

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.
