Confirmed from Gamehaven 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.
Woodland and grassy park with a disc golf course, trails for hiking and biking, and a lake.
What runners say about Gamehaven Reservoir
“This place is awesome and it's amazing beautiful !”
“Trails are not well marked.”
It's beautiful and clean. It's an amazing spot for disc golfing but definitely not for beginners because it's a hard course to play!! It's huge, almost a hike.If the course is not mowed well, finding your disc can't be very hard. Be careful as there's a possibility of having snakes when looking for discs in tall grass.
This place is awesome and it's amazing beautiful !sunshine is good for the soul brings up the hippie in all of us.my kids say its as fun as Quarry Hill.thank you for letting me and my little family enjoy the reservoir! There are butterflies everywhere it's amazing
So many mushrooms!!! And the trails are so fun and winding. Walking, biking, jogging, foraging
Spent a little over an hour hiking there. Will return with water and a phone next time, and plan for a few hours. Uphill hike got me breathing, and enjoyed the woodsy trails from there. Fall native plants are in full bloom, couple snakes said hello, and the bike trails are great.
