Confirmed from Keller 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.

So there is this kid I look after and really care about -he adores this park. He's had some bad experiences here, but those are outshined by the good ones. For starters there is a lake where he can fish and a trail where he can explore around said lake.

I nice little walk (Loop) the biggest advantage and maybe disadvantage of this walk is that it is mostly a small paved loop. Which is great if you want to add more distance easily or call it quits quickly (you won't get stuck far out on a trail)...

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.
