Confirmed from Illahee Trail 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.
What runners say about Illahee Trail Park
“It is beautiful small community lake offering a relaxing fully paved circle trail to walk around.”
Great trail. My only complaint is that the fence post that has the "don't feed the water fowl" on it is partially mangled. I think the public must know that they must not feed the water fowl. These precious water fowl are the main aspect of this park which makes it great.
It is beautiful small community lake offering a relaxing fully paved circle trail to walk around. It’s peaceful and you may see many waterfowls.
Beautiful place to take a walk by the pond. 🙂👌🏻 And sometimes you get to see Deer 🦌 as well.
Beautiful trail around the pond. Quick loop for walk or jog with lot of birds, ducks and flowers to spot
