We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Bee Tree County Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Kid-friendly park featuring trails for hiking, picnic areas, playgrounds and a lake.
What runners say about Bee Tree County Park
“Great little park with a beautiful view of the Mississippi River and a great little playground for the kids.”
“Has so much room for if you’d like to walk and absorb nature, or if you’d want to ride your bike or hang out to fish at the peaceful spot the have around the walking path.”
Had to find a place for the kids to play at one day on a pinch & found this gem!! Absolutely so cool! It’s 3 stories tall with 3 slides, 2 rock walls, 2 regular swings, 1 baby swing, & 1 special needs swing! Definitely a cool spot! Has a ton of trails, wooded areas, & picnic spots!!
Very beautiful park to walking or taking fall photo. It is clean and super beautiful for picnic. There are place to sit near the lake and playground. Gku could fish and grill.
Fun place to go with friends, family or even go for a walk or fish by yourself. Great walking trails, perfect for dogs. Very nice sized lake.
Bee Tree Park is a true hidden gem! The Nims Mansion sits elegantly on the bluff, overlooking the mighty Mississippi River. It’s a beautiful and historic spot. The hiking trails are great, with scenic views and plenty of nature to enjoy. We especially loved the quiet pond with great fishing spots and relaxing views.
