Confirmed from La Cima Lake'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.

It a lovely park with walking trail around it. It was much better if it had some parking spots, so no need to park in front of other residents.
It was very pleasant to walk around the lake with family. Very well kept. Maintained and clean. Not very crowded but not secluded either.
