Confirmed from Green Lane 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.

Dog-friendly

Located on a reservoir, this area offers non-motorized & electric-powered boat use & hiking trails.

My favorite place in the area. This park is amazing. Trails are fantastic. 10/10! I run here, hike, visit the playgrounds and picnic. It's amazing. Very dog friendly too

★★★★★ — Heidi , Apr 2025

A great park to go for a long walk in nature. The fishing is not too bad either. I have spent Many hours on this body of water. Night fishing is exceptionally good for the area if you like cat fishing that is.

★★★★★ — Cj , Dec 2018

Amazing! So many cool trails and different areas of the park. There's playgrounds for the kids and a boat rental area in one part of the park. Definitely go beyond just the playground and pavilion area if you enjoy nature walks and hiking!

★★★★★ — Jess , Jan 2022

We loved walking our dog here. The park is beautiful and very well maintained. There are also restroom facilities here. We sit near where the kayaks, paddle boarders and fishing boats take off and love watching them.

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.
