Confirmed from Ward Nail 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (306 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“It has a sanitary walking jogging running area all around , it does seem a dog friendly area too but of course respectful clean after yourselves.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“That being said, I absolutely enjoyed being out there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon (minus a little rain).”

Really great park work nice walking trails a playground and a stocked fishing pond. Mudtown is always a great time!

Let me start off by saying that the city this park is in, is the only problem with the park. That being said, I absolutely enjoyed being out there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon (minus a little rain). The pond is pretty cool and as far as I could tell is stocked with catfish.

Really awesome splash pad! I got nervous when I first pulled up because I didn't see any water but there was signage that you have to hit a button to activate it for four minutes at a time. I think we were the first ones of the day so it took several tries/minutes for it to get going.

This park was small the play area is small but it’s a wide park to play soccer and ball sports for sure. It had a dirt bike rail but they brought it down which sucks but I think they gonna built something better because they are bringing a water splay play area which by the way is wayy bigger then the MT Hebron Park…

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.
