Confirmed from Wild Rose 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.

Love to to to this park it's free had picnic tables public (clean) restrooms, and charcoal BBQs built into the park. Has always been peaceful , ppl have made trails to walk to the water but even just standing about you can see the dam, river and beautiful scenery plus you can always listen to the water rushing.

★★★★★ — Jessica , Sep 2021

Spacious park with huge trees and some garden plantings. Picnic tables, a gazebo, and a path to the river with views of the dam from the parking lot. We had a picnic!

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.
