Confirmed from Bracco Pond'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.
What runners say about Bracco Pond
“Great walking spot, quiet, peaceful, lots of nature.”
“Dog friendly, one mile walk around ponds.”
You will enjoy a nice walk around the lakes here however please beware of the Gators especially the north bound lake where he's snuggled into the shore line just feet away from the walking trail! Scared the tar out of me. but I was too close and had gone too far and had to keep walking past him hoping he wasn't hungry.
Took the kids on bike ride on trail,very nice trail. We didn't have any issues,,if you visit stay together make sure your phone is charged and STAY Alert..
Great paved track with a spectacular view. There is no shade at all and limited parking. It is surrounded by a residential neighborhood.
Great place for walking to exercise, it could use a lot of touch up, grass cutting under bridges, wasp took over the bridge walk ways, I think fencing around the lakes itself kids are out there what if a child falls in. If someone wants to fish leave a gate for entry.
