Confirmed from Kiwanis Woodlot 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 Kiwanis Woodlot Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (70 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Stopped here on a road trip just to cook some food and chill out. Pleasantly surprised at the easy access to the lake and all the little hidden trails through the trees. Worth checking out for some nice views.

Great park for hiking. Great walking trails with our dog and fun disc golfing course. Gets a bit muddy in the spring so be careful.

★★★★★ — Laura , Mar 2021

Lovely park with a trail looking over a lake. I even found a lovely swing.

★★★★★ — Ian , Jul 2023

Stopped in Mitchell for some truck repair. We did not expect this little paradise. Beautiful park with awesome nature trails.

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.
