Confirmed from Jim Saucier Memorial 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.

Peaceful ambiance. Nice place to walk. Seems safe with the police station across the parking lot.

★★★★☆ — Tamika , Oct 2022

Across from police dept,located behind the library. Seems like a safe place to walk. Beautiful scenery. There is a gazebo and picnic tables. Some workout equipment along the path. Be sure and check out the waterfall area, sometimes you can see the fish in there.

★★★★★ — Jennifer , Sep 2022

Nice park. There is a playground, picnic pavilion, exercise equipment and walking trail around the lake.

★★★★★ — José , Nov 2024

This is such a nice and well maintained park and pond. It’s behind the library and police station. It’s absolutely beautiful, the walking path is nice and paved and it’s nice for fishing even though we only saw brim when we went, we were told it’s stocked because it’s used for the fishing rodeos.

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.
