Confirmed from Fain 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.
Community park with a lake for fishing, hiking trails, picnic areas & a refurbished stamp mill.
What runners say about Fain Park
“Very nice clean park where there are walking trails, fishing, picnic and of course gold panning, old gold equipment and the Dogg likes it here too 😜”
“Went to Fain Park to take our family photos and the place was beautiful.”
“Beautiful, peaceful, and utterly transcendent.”
I really enjoyed this hidden gem on the creek in PV. There didn't seem to be too much interesting scenery on that side of town, but 5 mins from the Hampton Inn, you can descend into a valley of sorts and find this small, secluded lake with numerous trails, fishing areas, and plenty of places to set up a picnic.
This park is amazing! I was so surprised at all the little points of interest & we didn't even explore much past the bridge. I imagine the trails are beautiful! I definitely wanna come back here again & spend a lot more time exploring. You are so lucky if you live here & have regular access to this gorgeous park!

Beautiful, peaceful, and utterly transcendent. This park built around a dam that produces a picturesque lake nestled against jutting rock cliffs. In the middle is a waterfall that cascades down the cliffs into the deep blue water below. Fishing, trails, bridges and industrial artifacts punctuate the coastline.
