Confirmed from East End Lagoon ADA 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.
Fishing is available at this nature preserve that's good for kids.
What runners say about East End Lagoon ADA trailhead
“Peaceful place to watch the ships.”
It was absolutely stunning. A little oasis hidden away from everybody. We were the only ones on the trail and it was ADA friendly. My partner and I were able to walk the trail and they had several benches throughout to take breaks. It was a lovely respite from the city!
Small simple park, great maintenance on the trails and offers wetland views. Many butterflies and birds can be seen. The signage has interpretation boards to help identify the species. Benches are available to sit and watch. Simple and really nice break where there shouldn't be too many people.
Lots of mosquitos in the summer. Great place to walk and enjoy the view, although, keep in mind its not a long trail. Great place to watch the sun set if you are on the beach side.
