Confirmed from Bass 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 and functional design”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Beautiful, a nice lake just be careful you don’t want to to late because you never know what’s going to come out.”

A great place to hang out with nature and chill. Has paved jogging path for walking your dogs. The pond is a welcome surprise. Nice tranquil and full of fish to catch. Has a stream that feeds into it that is also cool to explore. Best of all, it’s a great park and is totally free.

I only came here to honestly use their bathroom but it was a wonderful random stop because I wanna come back here really bad. The area is pretty and there is nice bathrooms kind of state park like. Looks like it has some really cool trails as well if you feel like you're up for a hike or walk.

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.
