Confirmed from Hawk Ridge 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.

Quaint and peaceful park with a classy boardwalk right in the middle of the suburbs. What a great find! Perfect for a walk all the way around the little lake or a fishing spot. 🎣🏃🏼‍♀️ There are also some wooded trails as well. Looks like they have concerts in the summer time.

This is my go-to park! I love that I can take my daughter to play for a bit in the playground, then grab her stroller to go for a walk around the lake. When it’s busy, though, it’s BUSY and parking can be challenging to find! Other than that, great park and amenities!

★★★★★ — Priscilla , Feb 2025

Such a great park and playground! Walking path is paved plus dirt hiking trails and mountain bike trails. Beautifully maintained lake.

★★★★★ — Kerrie , Jul 2024

I absolutely loved my visit to this park! It’s a beautiful, peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The walking paths are well-maintained, and there are plenty of areas to sit and relax.

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.
