Confirmed from Buffalo Run 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 4 lakes with an observation tower, boat launch & fishing piers, sand volleyball & trails.

Some what clean, found lots of loose fishing lines. Nice short trail, Simi shade cover. Multiple parking areas and a few pavilion to rent for small gatherings.
A very nice park! If you are visiting with friends or family or just here for a walk or run, this park is really good and he huge! You can even do fishing. The park is around a pond of sorts and there are multiple view points to see the water or just fish. The way it’s setup is really nice.
