Confirmed from Alimagnet 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.

“Its well taken care of, the dogs are usually friendly, and the dog parks are well maintained and cleverly crafted.”

An exceptional dog park! Has an area for dogs 30lbs or under. Perfect for my chichuau!! Has plenty of room for them. Also a perfect little lake for big dogs with a great path around it. I would recommend it to any dog owners!!!

★★★★★ — Brian , Apr 2019

Very fun night fishing, but no clear path to the lake from the parking lot.

★★★★☆ — Julie , Sep 2018

**Let the city of Burnsville know you want this park to stay natural! Tell them you don't want a pickleball complex here!** It's a beautiful park with great trails and impressive nature. There's a dog park, playground for kids, and tons of space and parking. Only downside really is that it isn't a total nature park.

★★★★★ — Brittany , Jul 2025

I love this park. Its well taken care of, the dogs are usually friendly, and the dog parks are well maintained and cleverly crafted. Even the new split already looks nice (i do hope they put in another gate in the walkway between both pond and non pond part, down in the main area) people who see less algea may be more…

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.
