Confirmed from Weldon Peete 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.
Home to a mountain bike trail, this park also offers walking trails, boat ramps & picnic shelters.
What runners say about Weldon Peete Park
“There's a fantastic mountain biking trail loop, and a beautiful paved walking path.”
Decent park, almost 3 miles of trails for hiking and biking. Nice spot to launch a kayak or fish.
Beautiful park running alongside the river. Several bike trails criss cross the grounds with several interesting obstacles to navigate. There are also several paved trails for walking and riding. Dogs are welcome. You'll spot deer and several types of birds.
Great trail biking location. It's not super technical but has plenty of features to practice building skills and it's long enough to have a good workout with a couple laps. Make sure to read the posted sign for the trail direction that day. On busy days take care to watch out for people walking on the trail.
I've just recently discover this park, and find myself enjoying it more and more with each visit. The paved trails are very nice, and the mountain bike trails are well kept and very fun!

“There's a fantastic mountain biking trail loop, and a beautiful paved walking path.”
“The latter is handicap accessible (if the gravel parking lot isn't an impasse) The only downside is that there are no restroom facilities.”
