Confirmed from Crescent Lake County Park 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.
Country park offering kid-friendly hikes and a maze of unmarked trails along the shoreline.
What runners say about Crescent Lake County Park Trailhead
“beautiful easy walk, many micro environments within a 2 mile walk.”
“Quiet, restful and peaceful.”
beautiful easy walk, many micro environments within a 2 mile walk. When we started we walked through beautiful mossy cedars, similar to what you would see in the west olympics (but smaller) note, there is no real parking and no restrooms
Beautiful and secluded trail! Lots of shade, makes it walkable in any weather! My hound also had a great time with aaalllll the smells! I'll be back again 😊
these trails are in my backyard love them I have made my own trails back there so if you come across a trail with ruts from a dirt bike that trail is apart of my own yard much appreciated if you stay off those.
Well maintained trails very private and decent elevation change. Scarce views and trails to the lake my daughters dog approved
