Confirmed from Betty Allen Twin Ponds Nature 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.
Quiet park featuring a lake and a pond with walking paths and fishing.

Boy you can't see this place from the main road but once you enter the trail you discover a nice lake with a walk around it with mini bridges. We found lots of fish in the pond and interesting plants.
Short hike around the pond, beautiful fall colors and a pair of swans. Parking is across the road.
Best place around for nature without going too far. Short easy trail that's well kept with some nice pond overlook. Great place for photography!
Beautiful walk around the pond, love all the spots to pier out on. Was glad to catch the two swans 🦢
