Confirmed from Beverly Lake'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 9 mentions

“It's beautiful to go on the trails especially during the fall, the colors are beautiful.”

Fun little hike. It’s not a very big trail but it’s nice to have a little nature here and there.

★★★★★ — Luke , Apr 2023

There's a lake. And its never really been busy when I've gone. It also has great hiking trails, but women should not go alone.

★★★★☆ — Debbie , Sep 2018

The walking trail around this small lake is just 0.8 miles. It is dirt and narrow and wooded for much of it but a nice little mini-adventure!

★★★★☆ — Teresa , Apr 2025

What a beautiful area! Great trails. Will definitely explore more trails!

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.
