Confirmed from Lagoon Park Trail'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.
Wooded trail network for hiking and bike riding across creeks and ponds, plus an event lodge.
What runners say about Lagoon Park Trail
“It was be great if a local Boy Scout troop could come out and clean up.”
“Beautiful trail that is kinda hidden away- I see very few people here.”
“We did part of the creek trail and were not disappointed with the peaceful nature of the walk.”
We went for an after work hike. This time we walked the Creek Trail. Very scenic. Lots of flowering vines and shrubs made the air smell nice. It was cool down by the water. All the roots were painted so that people don't trip. Definitely a wonderful afternoon.
Such a beautiful place that you don't have to go far to see. My wife and I love the trail. Lots of wildlife
Clean and beautiful nature trail. We did part of the creek trail and were not disappointed with the peaceful nature of the walk. One disclaimer MUST bring bug spray!!!! We had to turn around from the hoards of little beasties that surrounded the baby stroller.
There are different trials to walk. There are also trials just for biking. There is a park with a restroom. Also covered area for resting. Love the trials. There is one next to a creek. Very peaceful. Only suggestion is to watch out for wasp . Got stung out there. They have nest in the rest areas.

“The path is mainly dirt and stroller friendly for those willing to deal with some tree roots and loose rocks in places.”
“The bathrooms are located on the outside and normally unlocked for you to use while visiting the park.”
“We had to turn around from the hoards of little beasties that surrounded the baby stroller.”
