Confirmed from Lake Arbor 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.
Venue featuring a kids' playground, open fields & multiple trails, including a loop around the lake.
What runners say about Lake Arbor Park
“Lake Arbor is such a fantastic park and is amazing to walk around and see the beautiful lake and mountains!”
“Lake Arbor Park is a nice neighborhood destination for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful setting.”
“It is a good place for all ages.”
Great park with lake and two walking paths around the lake. The close path is shorter. They have classic exercise stations next to the path around the lake. Great for running or walking. You get a nice view of the mountains, ducks, geese, and gulls.
Super peaceful and nice place to take a walk and clear your head! I went there to longboard today and the path around the lake was perfect to practice going down hills. There were also a lot of cute ducks.
Really nice park. Much bigger walking path than expected. I look forward to coming back in the summer to see it when it’s green but still beautiful today. Even saw a bald eagle!
Was out for a drive and stumbled across this hidden gem! Such beautiful views and tons of people out walking.
