Confirmed from Enchanted Lands' 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.
Sports fields, an 18-hole disc golf course, playground & picnic shelters are the focus at this park.
What runners say about Enchanted Lands
“Dogs are allowed on the trails, but be sure to bring poop bags and clean up after them.”
“Beautiful Park with a sweet Disc Golf Course it’s a perfect spot for a quick stop and play a few holes to get out of car and stretch a little.”
“Quiet park for walking, biking, jogging and taking your pets for a stroll, does include a playground with swings as well as Frisbee golf.”
Main Note: this is a long park. So dot stop at the first spot you see. There a lot to see in this park too. We go out there almost everyday. Even if its just on the way home to park for a short moment to relax . Plenty of play grounds and a long path to walk.
I love walking the trails here. There is a Frisbee golf course along the trails, too, and I hope to try my hand at that someday. This is a great place for daily walking and the picnic and play areas are very nice, too. Dogs are allowed on the trails, but be sure to bring poop bags and clean up after them.
Pros: 18 hole course that has water, terrain, and vegetation throughout. The front 9 are relatively short holes while the last 9 start to make some good distance shots. The course is easily marked and followed with the exception of 12-13-14. They seem a little jumbled and I completely missed 13 the first time I played.
Nice disc golf course and walking path but they need to do something about the time of day that they run their sprinkler systems. 10am on a weekend when most people would like to start a round of (DRY) disc golf???
