Confirmed from Bella Vista Lake 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.
Dog-friendly, 132-acre park with a fitness trail & playground, plus a picnic shelter & war memorial.

We love coming here! We bring our bikes and wagons and go on family walks. The people you run into are always so friendly too! Good place to get out of the house and into nature for free! Very pretty views too.
Beautifully kept. These woods and trails Are well maintained and so beautiful! If you haven’t been here, you’ve got to check it out! Beautiful place. Also, good for kids. There is a park next to the lake!
Great walking/biking/running/hiking Parking is squirrely, tho. Striping is erratic to non-existent.
Great place to bicycle or walk. There are repairs and upgrades being done from flash flooding, but don't let it discourage you from going. I've added photos of temporary repairs being made. They are doing a great job of making it usable until everything is finished.
