Confirmed from Blue Spruce 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.
Park with picnic pavilions and barbecue grills, plus a playground, a lake, and trails.
What runners say about Blue Spruce Park
“You have to bring your own birdseed and its an beautiful experience”
“I love the peace and quiet so if u need to unwind from a hard day, I recommend taking the chill pill at this park.”
Absolutely recommend!!! I love capturing the simple yet most beautiful things nature has to offer and I found this gem by accident the park has Many trails, bird watching ( which if you bring bird seed they come right down and eat it from your hands) awesome sauce right?!
Mesmerising place in Indiana Town. Nature park, beautiful trails and amazing lake. Really wonderful site for photoshoots and family picnics. One can walk around on trails or woods or the road around the lake. Truely Picturesque and ideal place for meditation. Beautiful colors of fall.
Fabulous County Park Spacious and beautifully maintained. No swimming! Nice trails, pavilions, and plenty of parking.
Pros: It is beautiful. Free. Hiking, covered tables, grills, and a medium venue for rental for parties looking out at the lake. Cons: Water quality might be a concern as there was a dead turtle and dead fish on the shoreline. Didn't seem to stop people from fishing with their kids.
