Confirmed from Coldwater Lake State 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.
Hiking and hunting area featuring farmland and boat access.
What runners say about Coldwater Lake State Park
“Not too many people come here so it's super clean and peaceful.”
Great spot for young and beginner hunters. It does get packed in but this very small acreage produces deer. It's common to see huge tracks and nice buck sign but dont count on seeing anything with more than 6 points until after dark. Everyone that goes there is nice and tries to stay out of your way.
This small, semi-wooded yet pastoral, midwestern SP offers a mere roadside pull off. A safe spot to park and exit your vehicle before investigating the terrain. There are no additional features or services available.
