Confirmed from Borderland State 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.
Circa-early-1900s artist-created park boasts founders' home, woodland trails & pond for activities.
What runners say about Borderland State Park
“We come here often for the well-kept trails and dog-friendly nature.”
“At the heart of the park lies a stunning historic mansion filled with exquisite handcrafted artwork and thoughtful design.”
“Don’t miss the beautiful pool near the mansion—it’s a serene and picturesque spot that adds even more charm to your visit.”
Awesome location, I found it from a photo shoot I did with some friends of mine from the area. The place is really a hidden gem so don't let the paid parking scare you off. I've only been during the winter but the beauty of the park still resonates. The trails are decently long but are very interesting to walk.
This is a really, really beautiful place for families, groups, friends, kids and even pets. The Lake has a sprawling ecosystem. There are birds and chipmunks all around, and we even saw turtles and snakes (non-poisonous ones)! The foliage during fall is breathtakingly beautiful.
This is one of my all time favorite places to go and relax. There's so much to do here. You can play Disc Golf, which if you've never played I highly recommend trying it. You can hike all different trails, etc. Although I'm not as mobile as I once was, I'm still able to soak up the beauty of this historical place.
Borderland State Park was a fun, relaxing, and educational way to spend a sunny Sunday morning. The park is open every day of the week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. While the parking lot was nearly full, the over 1,800 acres of land prevent the park from seeming crowded.
