Confirmed from Fort Zumwalt 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.
Tree-lined spot on a 48-acre War of 1812 site, with a historic home & chimney, picnics & fishing.

Nice park, for all ages. Walking path (1 mile circuit) along drive, (1/2 mile circuit) around central lake, open and wooded trails, disc golf course. Large playground, several picnic area. Historical site.
Excellent little place to go on a lake side walk. This place is very well kept and maintained. Everybody is super friendly. You could go on a nice walk, play Frisbee golf, I just have a nice little Lakeside picnic. You should check this place out for yourself!
I love this park. It has a beautiful path around the lake area, which allows for public fishing. You see ducks and turtles, along with lots of native plants. It is very well maintained and the people who visit are careful to leave it as nice as they found it.
Save this park to visit when it’s Christmas. This was from last Christmas. It’s a drive thru and one day for walking thru the lights. It was beautiful.
