Confirmed from Edgewood Lake'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.
What runners say about Edgewood Lake
One of the best place in Lincoln Park area to walk. Its very beautiful. Have nice jogging track or walkway along this small lake.
Edgewood Lake cannot be beat! You'll see 🐢, ducks, geese, fish. They've got chess tables and benches, and the bathroom is right across the street near the running ttack.

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
