Confirmed from Bartlett 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.

“It has ponds and the river comes through there, such a BEAUTIFUL FRESH RIVER 🥰”

Had fun fishing, almost had a carp didn't set the hook good enough, ended up catching this around 14 inch, 1.5 pound crappie using taco meat with a couple red worms thrown on there. This is at the far back pond.

★★★★★ — Esmeralda , Mar 2024

Sitting near the base of Lake Success, this is a beautiful place with several disc colf courses, plenty of handicap friendly restrooms, grills, tables, a hiking path, children's play area, tons of Geese and the occasional duck. Very well maintained and very big!

★★★★★ — Donnie , Mar 2026

I would love it if there was a roller skating ring in the park I believe that would bring more people out to the park it would have to have some kind of cover over it for shade and from degrees it's a good idea to think about for activities out there

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.
