Confirmed from Wallace House 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“This park is absolutely gorgeous it's by the River you can hike around it.”

Great place to walk with your family and/or yourself!! The city has done a fantastic job clearing space for adventuring

★★★★★ — Andrea , Oct 2022

This is a nice little park! There are trails to walk down and the structure is clean! We even saw a deer!!! I also liked that the park was tucked away, and not super busy.

★★★★★ — Joshua , Jul 2019

It was very clean(saw 1 construction glove), and serene. I spent about an hour walking around the park with my dog and managed to have only 1 moment of close contact still managing 6ft distance(though I was obvs the only one worried about it. Please don't spit on people when you speak🙏🏻❤💔

★★★★★ — Collette , Nov 2020

Very nice. Never knew it was so big. Nice walking trail but do need a level of fitness to go on the trails. I don't think a wheelchair could manage the inclines or dirt trails. The flora and bird life were wonderful.

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.
