Confirmed from Zane Landing 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.

“Wirh paved walking paths, shaded benches, and lots of trees, its a great place to relax and have a picnic.”

A very nice little city park on the bank of the Muskingum River in Zanesville, Ohio. Wirh paved walking paths, shaded benches, and lots of trees, its a great place to relax and have a picnic. There are a number of memorials including one for the bicentennial with revolutionary war figures.

★★★★★ — Jay , Aug 2018

Very nice city park located right beside the Muskingum River. Plenty of parking is located nearby. A small band shelter is within the park with a grassy area to sit in. Plenty of benches and shady areas to enjoy the views of the river. There are no playground facilities. But there is a nice biking/walking path.

★★★★★ — Michael , Jul 2021

This park located along the Muskingum River and near the train depot is a great little gem in Zanesville. There are a few military statues honoring some past fallen veterans. Nice bench spots and a bike trail starts here too.

★★★★★ — Collin , Apr 2024

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.
