Confirmed from LaFave 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 LaFave Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (14 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great bike/walking paths, wish more of the lights worked along them though./It’s rough when it get’s dark at 4:30/5pm this time of year. My dog loves walking the trails, lots of wildlife & other owners walking their dogs.

★★★★☆ — Seth , Dec 2023

Not a shabby spot. Stopped in to use the boat ramp. There is a playground and some ball diamonds on site too. Looks like a paved, and in good condition, walking/running path too.
