Confirmed from Duck Island Warriors' Path'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.
Lakefront park for boating and fishing, featuring paved walking trails and a playground.
What runners say about Duck Island Warriors' Path
“We decided to check this out while on a road trip to see the fall colors and found such a beautiful gem of a park.”
“Great place to walk, picnic, run, and access to the lake!”
20230331 My go-to park to walk my pups when traveling thru TN. I walked up the hill to the picnic pavillions and discover restrooms in the Pavillions, saw a white tail deer, and there is what appeared to be a vacant parking lot that is not longer in used.
Great place to walk and bring your dogs. Please clean up after them so everyone can enjoy. On one side they have a water fountain, so your dog 🐕 and you can get water. They also have bathrooms. Plenty of parking.
This is a fantastic place to walk or run for fitness, or just for relaxation and to enjoy the beauty! We see deer, geese, ducks, and love to go there! There is a super awesome play area for the little ones too!! It's a one-of-a-kind playground fashioned after the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe tales.
It has a paved walking path for dogs and people. There are several shelters for picnics etc. Tennis courts need resurfacing preferably into pickleball courts as it is the fastest growing sport in the US.
