Confirmed from Clague 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 5 mentions

“Very pretty setting with beautiful paved walking trails around the small lake.”

Love this playground! The kids are obsessed with the zip line thing. Lots of tables and chairs in the shade under the trees. Great area to walk around and there is also a water park near by (maybe city outdoor swimming?).

Really nice city park. I am really surprised that there isn't lighting on the walking trail. The park is open until 10 and there are no lights. During baseball and softball season there is not a lot of parking. Plan on arriving early. On both sides of the park, parking was not prioritized. This is unfortunate.

BIG Clague Park is awesome. Was great at Fireworks this year too. Always is good show. Playground perfect for kids. If a resident, or pay taxes in city, can go in their Pool area. Duck pond nice to relax at. Take peaceful walk. Play baseball, tennis, ect. 😃 The 4th was great tho this year with the family. 🎆

Great for a walk! Long, paved, handicapped accessible path that makes a convenient loop. Great for kids but they will need to be old enough to listen and stay away from the water. Geese and ducks to see and we saw a heron off one of the bridges! A family favorite when I was a kid and now with my kids.

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.
