Confirmed from Kenosha County Veterans 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.
Park with a lake offering swimming and boat launches, as well as hiking trails.
What runners say about Kenosha County Veterans Memorial Park
“A very clean and healthy main lake, there are other ponds amoungst the trails.”
“Went on Red Trail, quite muddy at the time but great views!”
“I was with a dog who also enjoyed the walk.”
I really enjoyed walking at this park. There is a trail that goes around the lake. It is about a 40 minute walk (moderate to swift pace for exercise). The scenery along the path is varied and interesting. I caught a short glimpse of a unique bright orange bird. I was with a dog who also enjoyed the walk.
Wonderful place!! Beautiful man made lake to take a kayak of canoe out on. Lots of trails that are well maintained. Benches along lake path to relax. Clean bathrooms!! Plentiful parking. All around a great place!!
Beautiful park! Long hiking trails that are maintained. Great place to bird watch and see all the beauty of nature. Able to fish here and launch a small boat. Clean public restrooms. Good place to bring your dog.
Nice clean park. Lots of kayakers but still had plenty of space. People fishing on the waters edge. Hikers around the perimeter. Dogs running and jumping in the lake.
