Confirmed from Lake Medina'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.
Park featuring a lake, trails, and a public restroom, plus fishing.

“Beautiful lake with a dog walking trail all the way around!”
A fairly big lake from a man made reservoir. There are two parking lots. The one I was in was very small, but there is a porta potty. The lake has a very nice view. It would be a great spot to come in the fall. The top trail/track is paving stone and the bottom is a paved walking trail.

Beautiful park with some nice trails and a great path around the lake. Overall 9/10 (4.5 stars)
