Confirmed from HarborPark'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.

“I saw a lot of people there walking their dogs, I was there to walk the kids because there is a bunch of stuff to see.”

Beautiful views of the lake and shoreline. Sunsets and sunrises can be stunning. Very popular place for walkers, joggers, bicyclists. Quite a few benches located around to sit.

This is a great place for a relaxing walk. The pier offers great fishing too. With an abundance of places to eat and drink within walking distance. Thursday nights you can attend the Peanut butter jam, a free concert..

★★★★★ — Lou , May 2025

Great park with trails, a small beach area, and beautiful views of the lake. Parking is tight so allow time to drive around.

★★★★★ — George , Aug 2024

Such a beautiful park to take a walk in and see the lighthouses. Kenosha was holding Oktoberfest at this park too on Saturday, September 27, 2025. Not only was it a gorgeous day in weather but so beautiful right on Lake Michigan.

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.
