Confirmed from Beus Pond 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.

“Is very scenic, serene, and peaceful.”

I've been going to be spawn since I was a kid my mom always brought us here to feed the Ducks and walk the trail and it's always been a good time. This Pond is great because the fact that there is a lot of canopy cover. So even if it's really hot out you're not stuck in direct sunlight being cook like an egg.

South Ogden has put in a year's worth of effort to add in a new bathroom by the playground, and repaved the main path. They also have added in a new rock wall and path off to the side of the main parking lot. Very nice pond to go walking around. There are ducks, geese and deer here frequently.

★★★★★ — Heather , May 2024

A very beautiful park, lots of wildlife. There is a paved walking path all around the park. There are ample benches and some picnic tables, at least one with a BBQ grill. Is very scenic, serene, and peaceful. A great place to walk, rest, relax, and connect with nature. Highly recommended!

★★★★★ — Paul , Jun 2017

Magical. Love the blooming flowers right now. The pond and loop around it is cute and paved. Loved the little trail that led to a stump bridge and stick fort. There are restrooms, picnic tables, and garbage cans so you can have lunch.

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.
