Confirmed from Heritage 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.
Popular park with an artificial lake for fishing and swimming, plus picnic tables and playgrounds.
What runners say about Heritage Park
“The lake is beautiful, and the trail is well maintained.”
“Another beautiful spot we were pleasantly surprised on how many people were here yet so calm and serene.”

“Our dogs loved the shoreline and able to walk in the grass just a few feet away.”
I'm writing specifically about the Lacamas Heritage Trail (about 3.5 miles long) that runs along the west side of Lacamas Lake. For the sake of clarity, Lacamas Lake connects with Round Lake, just across the road to the east.
A total gem of a municipal park. Lots of hiking trails, pretty vistas, and interesting former-lumber-mill infrastructure. A great place to take kids, which I don't have, but I can see that it would be.
I love this trail! It's really easy, but not paved, so be prepared for mud during/after rain. The lake is beautiful, and the trail is well maintained.
This is a lovely little park that also provides the parking for the South Trailhead for the Lacamas Heritage Trail. Picnic tables with charcoal barbecue stands, play structures, walking paths, restrooms with flush toilets & running water. There always seems to be plenty of parking for vehicles with trailers.
Trail conditions & character
“Round Lake has a trail system that extends to the south, and it is the one with waterfalls and, as you move away from the lake, more challenging terrain.”
“I've been coming here for a very long time, lots of parking and I love the boat launch cause it has a kayak launch on the side!”
