Confirmed from Lake Corriher'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.
Fishing, disc golfing, picnicking, and hiking are offered at this park, which also has cabins and a playground.
What runners say about Lake Corriher
“For those who love fishing, the lake provides a quiet and scenic spot to cast a line.”
“The park’s well-maintained trails are ideal for a relaxing hike, and the serene lake is great for kayaking and paddle boating.”
Awesome park! Great place. They have cabins, fishing, canoeing , hiking, soccer field, picnic area and disc golf.
This is a beautiful park tucked away right next to the town! My only complaint was that it was very difficult to find the park office when I was looking for information on the park. The first pond is pretty, but the lake further back is even better.
Perfect peaceful getaway! I stayed in the “Overlook” cabin. It has electricity and there is a bathroom on site that is a little walk away. It was $30/night with a $50 security deposit that is refunded when you checkout.
Nice place to take your family, to hike an fish. My 1 year loved it an caught his frist fish. All fish we caught was little brim. We did see a lot of large carp. Didn't get any of the big fish to bite. Prices was good. After 2 it's just 3 bucks for adults to fish. We will go back.
