Confirmed from January-Wabash 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.

“It's an excellent spot to spend some time during the warmer months with its beautiful views and tranquil atmosphere.”

Beautiful in the fall. I enjoy watching the sunset, very beautiful. Not many fish biting but pretty good place to relax and walk. Update: this year the fish are biting like crazy! Still nice place to walk.

★★★★☆ — Therese , Apr 2026

Nice urban park that’s clean and quiet. Paved walking path and a lake. Recommended.

★★★★☆ — Ffkdtp1 , Jul 2025

Love this park. Lots of area to walk around the pond. There’s lots of benches. Public bathrooms, fishing, and picnics.

★★★★★ — Cj , Apr 2024

One of my favorite spots, particularly during summer or fall, is this place. The lake is a good size, offering multiple fishing spots or a chance to relax under a tree after a stroll on the trail. The playground equipment makes it ideal for families, and it's free!

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.
