Confirmed from Ken Simmons 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.

What runners say about Ken Simmons Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (47 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Wife and I were looking for a place to fish, there's a boat launch near the park so good for people with a boat not good for those looking for a place on land to fish, too many lily pads to get hung up on.

★★★★☆ — Tyler , Sep 2019

It's a great place to walk ! You have a view of the lake and if you read the information on the plaque you will see how it use to be when mr. Simmons bought the property! You really get your work out! Up some hills and down some hills!

★★★★★ — Paula , Jan 2019

Small quest but has a lot of seating and trail to the water very clean.

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.

⛰️ Hills / elevation 3 mentions

“Not the best park, but it does have a lot of trees you can climb(Be safe on those) and it gas easy access to come in and leave”
