Confirmed from Wolf's Hollow County 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.
Park featuring hiking trails, picnic areas and scenery.

HIDDEN GEM. Plenty of parking all seasons. Most trails are up and down . Great day hike , bring Water and snack. Some trails may push you but So Worth it. Great views on Forest and Octoraro Ridge trail along Octoraro Creek in the Valley. Look up along the creek, there is a Bald Eagle living in the area!! HIKE ON
We really enjoy this park, summer, winter, or in between. Many nice paths, some paved, some in the woods, and some across open fields. There's hills too for a bit of a work out. The paths are marked and there are picnic tables along some trails. Nice for all ages.
This 569 acre park includes overlooks of the Octoraro Creek. There are about 10 miles of trail great for hiking and trail running (horses and bikes are not permitted) This place also has paved Wolf's Hollow Drive that is over 2 miles long and would be good for strollers or the disabled.
STUPENDOUS little park with many trees and beautiful trails along the creek and through the wild meadows--all of which are immaculately kept, with completely environmentally-LOVING management style!👏👏👏 All kinds of birds and native flowers/trees!☺️💚💚💚💚
