Confirmed from Lake Netta Nature trail'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.

What runners say about Lake Netta Nature trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (12 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Lake Netta Nature Trail is a quaint little trail that will lead you through roughly 100 yards of well kept grass, and an equal distance of forest trail. The grass path is smooth and would likely be accessible by off-road capable scooters, however, the forest trails would prove difficult if not impossible.

★★★★★ — Phil , Aug 2022

Around a quarter mile walk out to the grassy area of the lake with a loop around and back to the road. Quiet and extremely peaceful, wooded area!
