Confirmed from Alternate Trailhead Lake Lansing Park North'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.
What runners say about Alternate Trailhead Lake Lansing Park North
“It really was such a beautiful forest.”
It is a beautiful trail. The forest is filled with oak trees and wide open. Some of them have burn marks from either lightening or a controlled burn. Be careful when walking as in high wind some of them break. The trail is soft sand/dirt and signs posted say no biking which makes the trail nice for walkers.
Neighborhood entrance to the Lake Lansing Park North trail system. Enters on the Blue trail loop; if you proceed clockwise on the trail you arrive at the main parking area, restrooms, etc. within 1 mile. If you continue on the Blue trail, it’s about 3.4 miles around the loop.
Skip the Lake Lansing Park North parking lot hype scene with its loud, grubby rugrats & upper middle class grandparents wearing Vans and Converse. The Alternate Trailhead is in a nice quiet neighborhood with street parking and virtually no pedestrian traffic.
A well maintained trail system that drains quickly and doesn't hold water. Lots of wildlife. Great for a family hike or to leg out a trail running workout. I love it here.
