Confirmed from Lac Lavon 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 play area for children, a barbecue grill and a lakeside walking trail.
What runners say about Lac Lavon Park
Its a little great spot to go for a BBQ or a run around the area. You can go down to the lake for a swim or to even get on your boat. The people are really friendly here also. Great spot!
This is a great little park. It has a nice picnic area and playground area for kids. They also have a bathroom (biffi) available onsite as well. They have some nice little walking paths and you can even go down to the waterline and fish or watch scuba divers.
Dropped in the canoe for a nice paddle around this lake. It was much quieter than another nearby option. A short, paved downhill walking path from the parking lot (1 min.) gives easy access to drop in. Enjoyed it!
