Confirmed from Kelsey Round Lake 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.
Park featuring a boardwalk over wetlands, plus paved trails and birdwatching.

“Quiet little park in Andover, clean and beautiful trail.”

Great place to go for a long walk or run out in nature it has paved paths to walk on along with some bridges also has a lake and a lot of trees in the wetlands it also has a lot of wild life such as birds and turtles and owls!
Love this park! It is nestled in the middle of a neighborhood. Every time I go, it has not been very busy. The trails are so well maintained, even in the winter. A lot of wildlife in the area, we have seen numerous deer at dusk, birds, rabbits. It would be a great place to bring young kids on bikes!!
Wonderful walking trails. I had been looking for somewhere with nice trails to walk my dog that was relatively close to where I live that I wouldn't phave to pay to park (like Bunker). This was the perfect place.
Nice, paved & mowed paths going through beautifully preserved wildlife areas makes this a nice place for all to visit.
