Confirmed from Acorn Woods 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.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“Usually an open space for 3-6 of us, very well maintained, bathrooms are clean but bring your own toiletries Lakes always nice and they have fire pits and allow campfire”

We used to visit this park all the time when we lived right across the street. It's a really nice area, great hiking trails, nice paths, picnic tables, fishing areas, a beach, and docks for your boats. We brought our dog here for his last day, he loved it.

★★★★★ — Becky , Dec 2021

Beautiful park with occasional scena of the water from the walking trail. There are several covered picnic tables to eat at, but not a ton of parking. You will see plenty of people either walking their dogs or riding their bicycles. The path is suitable for strollers.

★★★★★ — Daniel , Apr 2023

The park itself is nice with shaded picnic areas with grills and places to park right next to them. There are also trails here, nice wide paved trails with wooden bridges that go next to the lake and connect to a larger trail system.

★★★★☆ — Rob , Oct 2019

Having visited this area a number of times over the years and frequently walking in an adjacent neighborhood I decided to make this a destination on my walk this week. I was surprised that this tremendous investment in recreation. Super location alongside the lake and adjacent Park.

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.

“Family friendly park, nice view of the lake, busier than other parts of the lake but not overwhelming, mainly because of the soccer and baseball games.”
