Confirmed from Jaycee 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.

Wooded park with trails and a lake for fishing and picnicking.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (99 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“Very peaceful, good fishing and I love how nature has been preserved.”

Nice and peaceful place. The trail was easy to follow and wasn't to hard. The lake gives you great views.

★★★★★ — Marty , Mar 2021

Nice place. My dog and I had a nice walk on the wooded trail and scoped out some fishing spots around the lake.

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.
