Confirmed from Lake Blue Park Maria Isabel Barajas' 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 a beautiful park on a lake.”

★★★★★ — Selena , Feb 2024

It's a nice place to go for a walk and exercise. And if your a pokemon go player, great place to catch pokemon and get items from the Poke-Stops that's all across the park. Theres even a pokemon gym under a 1min walk from the park.

★★★★★ — Anthony , Jun 2019

The 1.22 mile walk is perfect for us. We actually did two laps, but I like the option of quitting. 😀 Beautiful surroundings!

★★★★★ — Betty , Aug 2023

Beautiful park. Great for kids to play at as well as a nice park to walk and ride bikes in.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
