We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Walk and Hike trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Walk and Hike trail
“It was very narrow but beautiful.”
“Very quiet, peaceful, and serene.”
If you didn't know it was there you would drive right by. Very small parking area, maybe 2 car area. Always see joggers on the trails. Great place to see groundhogs, chipmunks, and bird watch. Very quiet, peaceful, and serene.
There is NO sign for the trail. But it is right across from the Drussle farm. There is a small path off to the left. It was very narrow but beautiful. I went out the main path pass the Akron watershed. There was a fence but the this seemed to be less used. There was a lot of bunnies.
