Confirmed from Island 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.

Park with a trail along a river that's suitable for biking and walking.

“I haven't been there in 10 years and the work they did to the park is beautiful.”

Super nice place to go fishing, on some areas! In the summer time the damn closes and expoese the rocks. It allows you to walk almost across it! It smells like garbage thow, highly recommended wearing shoes or something yo cover your feet! Try not to touch the water.

I stayed at the hotel nearby and really enjoyed having this park within walking distance. Visited this park 3 times in 2 days to check up on the goslings The park is an island built around a lock and dam so there are some interesting engineering sights here.

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.

“People with dogs need to be smarter than their dogs by keeping them on a shorter leash so bicyclists can safely pass.”
