Confirmed from Coshocton Lake 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.

“Really easy hike and took a little over an hour for us to loop back.”

Easy access, plenty of parking, and trails nearby. Went for an early morning walk on Scarr trail, and it didn't disappoint. Really easy hike and took a little over an hour for us to loop back.

Such an awesome park! My kids had the BEST time there. Huge playground area, pool with water slides, public restrooms, tons of room to walk around. They have picnic tables as well with toddler seats built in. Which I've never seen before and thought was the coolest thing. Definitely recommend this park.

★★★★★ — Vela , Dec 2024

Absolutely beautiful! My kids LOVE playing on the playground. The walk path is well kept and I enjoy taking our pups for walks over the bridge. Fantastic scenery for pictures as well!

★★★★★ — Victoria , Jul 2024

Beautiful place to make memories and have fun:) Wonderful playground area for kids. It does need some maintance but still fun. Great walking/biking trails and big campground. My daughter and I go often and always have a great time.

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.
