Confirmed from Amber Lake 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.
Lakeside park with a boat launch, fishing piers, a playground, and picnic shelters.

Great park that’s not often used but very well kept. Equipment is in great shape and there was no garbage or broken glass anywhere I seen. There were a couple grills, 2 docks (1 was by the boat launch area but had a bench and several rod spots) the bathroom was mildly handicapped accessible.
Fun place to walk or play Frisbee Golf. Has a nice little sandbar you can swim off!!!
