Confirmed from Walking Trails - Southern Great Plains Research Station'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.

Great outdoor place to walk, jog or run. Very early can see deer. Turkeys, rabits and squirrels any time.
