Confirmed from Cleveland Lake Regional 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.

Nice paved trail around a beautiful little lake. Dog friendly and off of the road. Disc golf area is nice. Great open field spaces for picnics or activities.

Nice place to walk dog and for kids to ride bike. Popular park for fishermen, disc golfer's, and others walkers out enjoying the park. Port a potty on site.

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.
