Confirmed from Beaty Landing'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.

“Great little park small boat canoe launch update flush toilets nice picnic area with pavilion and some well maintained hiking trails along the river and threw the meadow”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Haven't tried the trail yet, I have heard many good comments about how peaceful it is while walking.”

This was a great small but packed with stuff place in painesville. There was a launch ramp for maybe a kayak or paddleboard. I saw a large fish by the rocks. There was a path for fishing and some really good habitat for fish to dwell. There was wildlife on the way. (snake pic).

★★★★★ — Jeffrey , May 2023

Nice local park with a nice picnic pavilion and nature trails. The gravel loop is exactly 1200 meters and then the grass loop added on is slightly over a mile long when added on to the gravel loop as one big loop. The grass trails are not as smooth as the gravel ones though, so watch your footing when running.

★★★★☆ — Megan , Nov 2018

I go there alot. I like to sit with my dog Bear in the pavilion and just enjoy nature. Its very nice for having a picnic. Haven't tried the trail yet, I have heard many good comments about how peaceful it is while walking. I also sit by the water watching the fishermen.

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.
