Confirmed from Lake George/Eastman 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.
Clean park at the city's center featuring a lake, hiking paths and playgrounds.

“It is centrally located, convenient, has plenty of things for children to explore, a walkway, restrooms, parking, and is well maintained.”
“Its a beautiful place the lake itself isn't the cleanest but the view of it is amazing!”
“The circle around the lake is great for the kids to run around, ride bikes, take walks.”
“My friend and I walk to the park quite often, and it's pretty peaceful.”
Beautiful park. Lots to do from fishing, boating, paddle boards, 2 miles of paved walking paths, large park for kids. There are actually 3 parks. Two dry parks and one splash pad. There is space to rent for birthday parties and clean bathroom facilities. The grass is well maintained. Plenty of free parking.
Lake George is such a nice place if you want to relax and get fresh air. There is a lot for the kids to get into. In the summer the splash pad is open and its a great place for the kids to get rid of some energy. Its a beautiful place the lake itself isn't the cleanest but the view of it is amazing!
Lots of ducks so cute!! Very nice place to walk a few laps around the lake, I seen they had places to cook out but only two grills I seen , wish they had more, looked like a cool place to have a cook out with all the pine trees overhead. The fountains so cool looking, even a water park deal for the kids .
Great park for walking, jogging, fishing or just laying in the grass. Safe, clean and FREE!
