Confirmed from Bay Walk 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.
Park with picnic tables, benches, and a kayak launch, plus opportunities for walking and sunset-watching.
What runners say about Bay Walk Park
“This place is always immaculately clean and at times peacefully quiet.”
“The town took what was a nondescript shoreline and transformed it into a beautiful public space with an assortment of thoughtful amenities.”
“Great Kayak Launch location, water are very calm, not much of boat traffic.”
Nice little park to walk or sit by the water. The park seemed fairly new and had several interesting pieces. I'll make use of the kayak launch in the future, and I might bring a friend for a walk sometime.
Great Kayak Launch location, water are very calm, not much of boat traffic. Free parking but space are limited, the parking is share with the small park fewer than 10 parking spots. Get there before 9am on the weekend. otherwise you have to load the kayak and go find parking outside. Short walk to launch area.
Stumbled upon this gem of a place on my way home from an errand. It's a lovely walking path and seating area right on the water.
Nice little park to sit down at, and have a cup of coffee enjoying the scenic water.
