Confirmed from Evans Lake at Mosaic'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 Evans Lake at Mosaic
Great new walking/running paths on the north side of Mosaic. All asphalt, well done, and they give you options. I modified all my running routes that went thus direction to utilize the new trails and the bridge.
First time walking this trail next to Mosaic and enjoyed it a lot! The trail winds around a lake that has a fountain in the middle of it and there's a little bridge you cross over while on your stroll.
Wonderful place to walk,take pictures for special occasions, beautiful background,very relaxing atmosphere,love this area 😀
Trail conditions & character
“The bridge is lit up, and the Mosaic parking lights keep the southernmost trail fairly well lit if that's a concern.”
Plan your run at Evans Lake at Mosaic
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.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
