Confirmed from Lake Hastings Park Loop'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.

I love the area around Hastings Lake. Whether it's fishing, walking the trails or just spending a lunch hour enjoying the scenery, it's very peaceful.
It was peaceful. It's very nice and relaxing. Could walk or just sit on a bench. That's a nice Park.
Great disc golf course. Also walking trail on concrete path. Also swimming and fishing in the lake.
