Confirmed from Fremont Reservoir'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 Fremont Reservoir
“It’s very scenic and a good place to get some steps in.”
It’s not a trail, it’s a paved path around the reservoir. It’s very scenic and a good place to get some steps in. One lap won’t take too long, it’s probably a little over a mile. They do have surveillance cameras, which may in part be why it’s so clean here.
Great walking path around Reservoir. A boat launch ramp for small boats. Driveway is fairly steep going to top. Parking at busy times may be a problem.
Had a very peaceful walk around the reservoir. There's also a little sheltered area to sit at and eat or just relax.
