Confirmed from Concord Park East Trailhead'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.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“Trails are not in a great condition but there are several and you can make your hike as long as you want up to 9 miles.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Great typography, beautiful views and a surprising amount of trail packed in to an easy to get to park.”

🪧 well-marked 2 mentions

“They are well marked and cleared.”

Good bike or short hike location in town. Senic lake views and woods views. Can be strenuous on bikes in particular given hilly range. Best of all it is directly next to great dog park with lake access, a par three golf practice range, a marina and a great restaurant with ample outdoor seating with lake views.

★★★★☆ — Andy , Apr 2019

Really great hiking spot to have a date (speaking from experience). All kinds of neat things along the way.

★★★★★ — Danny , Mar 2021

I love the lake so much!!! It's so beautiful. The hiking trails are awesome and people very friendly!

★★★★★ — Suzanne , Mar 2022

Mostly well kept trails and a nice location on the water. If it rains the trails are very muddy/slippery so be sure to use caution. There are several miles of trails and many different combinations of routes so it is hard to get bored.

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.
