Confirmed from Entergy Park'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.
Waterside recreational park offering walking trails, fishing spots, playgrounds & a scenic overlook.

Stellar lake views! We took the lakefront & wildlife observation trails. Loved the wooden structures and bridges. There are benches to overlook the scenery and a variety of picnic spots. A gem in the Hot Springs area and right next to the Carpenter Dam!
Such a beautiful parked tucked off Carpenter Dam rd. There’s a fun jungle gym for the kiddos, covered seating areas, a gazebo for impromptu proposals or rent it for the special occasion, docks galore for fishing, a boat ramp, lovely flower beds, a pond, clean bathrooms and some awesome hiking trails that are paved and…
I love this park! Lots of shade and by the water! It has restrooms, picnic areas, paved trails, 2 little playgrounds, a fishing pond, and a boat dock. If you like playing Pokemon Go, there are several gyms and pokestops. The only things missing are more working water fountains and a fitness station.
Beautiful place to spend a day or two. Lots of water access, beautiful places to go fishing from both bank or docks. Signs say they stock trout, brim, catfish and bass. Trails are wide and some are paved. Parking lots are spacious and open and the restrooms are nice.
