Confirmed from Ike Skelton 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.
Family-friendly park featuring a playground, picnic tables and a pond for fishing.
What runners say about Ike Skelton Park
Great little park for just about anything you want to do. Running, fishing, picnicking, playground, scenic lake. A gem!
This park is the best part of the base tbh. The pond is filled with easy to catch fish (Bass, Bluegill and catfish). The playground is new. It has a part meant for older kiddos and a part meant for younger. Lastly, the path encircling it all is perfect for a good run.
