Confirmed from Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve'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.
Lush parkland offering wildlife & forested walking & biking tails around a secluded lake.
What runners say about Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve
“Very clean and well maintained.”
“If you haven't wandered aimlessly through the wooded paths and scenic lake overview of Anderson Lakes you really haven't experienced life.”
I've dedicated my life to writing reviews on Park Reserves in Eden Prairie. So before I go any further I just need to let you know that this is my true Google account. You may have noticed some reviews on the Ponds and the Marshes to the West of here (Bloomington) but I assure you those are imposter accounts.
Confusing Google Location - Anderson Lakes Park Reserve is mostly a nature preserve with no trails or human access so don’t let Google Maps mislead you (the Timber Trail address listed is NOT how you gain access). The only access for humans is at Anderson Lakes Regional Park located on Anderson Lakes Parkway.
Loved it. We are going back for MEA weekend if they are open. They have trails for biking, hiking, skiing, cannoeing. They electric hook ups or just tenting. Very nice and soothing, calming environment.
Great area for biking and walking. Excellent paths for walking within the reserve.
Trail conditions & character
“Would be even better if people kept their dogs on the leash.”
“If you haven't wandered aimlessly through the wooded paths and scenic lake overview of Anderson Lakes you really haven't experienced life.”
“There are some nice paved and unpaved trails, but they are mostly in the woods and along meadows and not near the actual lakes so don’t let the park name confuse you.”
“Looks to be a main paved loop around the closest lake with an additional bigger lake to explore off the trails during winter.”
