Confirmed from Fish Lake Regional 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.

Fish Lake Regional Park has long walking trails whether you want a bike ride or walk your dog too. A beach to lay out by the water and feel the sunshine. The park for the children to play. And a volleyball court to get your friends together and play a great game!

★★★★★ — Gina , Aug 2023

Nice place with lots of picnic table and well maintained restrooms. The couple trails loops are awesome for bike rides or even a walk.

★★★★★ — Deepak , Sep 2022

Great place to spend time. Beautiful trails, Beach, Dog park, picnic areas. The trails in the park will give you access to Medicine Lake Regional Trail too.

★★★★★ — Nithya , Dec 2020

Tons to do here, all seasons. Lots of well maintained biking and walking trails, a beach, paddle board and kayak rentals, and more. We live in between here, French and weaver lake parks, and love them all. A great summer spot that can feel like you’re not near the cities..

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
