Confirmed from Claude Edge Front St. 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.
Waterfront hangout with a boat launch, fishing pier & picnic tables, plus a gazebo for events.

“It is a relatively small park, but very pretty and quiet.”
Nice place to enjoy the river. Lots of birds and squirrels running around.
Gorgeous park great for a short loop walk and taking in the sunrise. Also a great starting point for a run across the causeway (5k round trip). Ample parking for cars and boats.
This was such a nice little park I recently went to for a photo shoot for one of my pet photography clients. It is a relatively small park, but very pretty and quiet. No kids playground, so you don't have to hear screaming kids all the time.
Nice little park to walk around and a good place to bring your boat to launch. My dog enjoyed playing in the water too. Not to busy either. Little dock with a bench to watch the water it was nice.
