Confirmed from Chambers Grove'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.
Waterside picnic area featuring a playground, along with space for fishing and other activities.

This is a fantastic park. Very clean and well-kept, and awesome playground equipment. My daughter loves it. Great opportunities for walking, picnicking, and hiking, too. Simply gorgeous location by the river, with Mont du Lac visible in the distance and the Biauswah Bridge right there.
Great park with a paved trail and challenging unpaved ones. Beautiful scenery and wildlife that changes with the seasons from swans to tadpoles.
Awesome park with lots of picnic tables and excellent outdoor playground. Recently rebuilt with gravel trails and mountain bike pads. Huge picnic Pavilion and modern toilets. Good place for fishing off the shore and launching canoes and kayaks.
