Confirmed from 20th Century Veterans Memorial'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.
Lakeside park honoring US veterans with a caboose and playground.
What runners say about 20th Century Veterans Memorial
“Beautiful and very well maintained memorial, easy to get in and out of.”
“Beautiful and very well maintained memorial, easy to get in and out of.”
I only have one suggestion, that they put a gravel or concrete walk way from the road to the picnic area by the play ground. Other than that the park perfect! There are many spots for family pictures. There are docks for those that enjoy sitting back and fishing, a perfect place for a trucker to relax for an afternoon.
Very nice little memorial for the troops. Definitely hits you in the feels. I liked the little inscriptions they have here and there. Currently undergoing some road construction, but it's still accessible.
Great I80 dog stop and walk spot. Has a 1/2 paved trail around the pond. Literally right off the highway and fenced off from the road
