Confirmed from Keith McKellop Walkway'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 Keith McKellop Walkway
“Beautiful pathway, I wouldn't call it hiking but again it's a beautifully maintained walkway that truly has something for everyone.”
Cadillac is a beautiful town, but if you need a break, look no further. It doesn't matter if you're walking, biking, or just enjoying your lunch break by the lake, this walkway is beautiful. There is plenty of parking, benches along the way, and bathrooms nearby.

What a pretty walkway along the lake. Beautiful restrooms, tiny playground...it really should be larger. And some interesting history posted along the walk
Beautiful path along lake Cadillac! It’s a great place to watch the sun rise or set. There are many benches to sit and relax along the lake on the trail.
