Confirmed from Boerne City 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.
Park on Boerne Lake with a fishing pier, boat dock, BBQs & picnic tables, plus a butterfly garden.

“Playground awaits you & the kids, alongside the shimmering lake are hiking, walking trails, dogs on leash love it too!”
Great place to bring the family, you can swim, BBQ, and rent kayaks 🛶 there is lots of shade. The lake is pretty clean. It is a dog friendly park but they must be on a leash. This was our first time there but not our last. Everyone was very friendly. The park does close at 10:00pm. It cost $15.00 - $20.00, a car load.
First time here with the kids and they had a blast. Plenty of shade around the water. There are real restrooms and porta pottys around the park. There are bbq grills, trails and a playground. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards or bring your own. We even caught a fish while fishing.
This lake is pretty nice. It's $10 for entry and $5 for seniors. There are lots of picnic tables and even a small playground for children. You can fish here and also rent kayaks and paddle boards. For a single person kayak/paddle board it's $20/hour and for double it's $30/hour.
As a resident I am able to enter at no cost. Small fee for non residents. It is always well maintained and such a peaceful and beautiful lake. It is surrounded by a walking path and has plenty of parking.
