Confirmed from 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“We like it out at City Lake, it's pretty peaceful with lots of fun things to get outdoors and do!”

We found this place while geocaching. I'd never been to this park before, but it is a gem! I love the Enchanted Trail.

★★★★★ — Dani , May 2023

Great place to go fishing, kayaking or paddle boarding - really anything on the water that doesn't have a motor!there's also a hidden spot to swim in the woods as well as plenty of hiking/mountain biking trails. The walking trail, bike ramps, Frisbee golf and bird watching spots are also pretty cool!

★★★★★ — Tricia , Sep 2023

The park and trails are beautiful. I do wish the trails were set up more for multiuser experience instead of being so bike heavy. I like to trail run and hike more than biking. A plus is that I got to see a family of baby raccoons trying to learn to cross a stream.

★★★★★ — Brant , Jul 2020

Nice little park with a fairly open 9 hole disc golf course. Neat walking trails in the woods..

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🏞️ Scenic views 7 mentions

“The bike track and walking trail blend nicely with a disc golf course, and the useful photography blind makes for a great stop to view nature.”
