Confirmed from Lake Olmstead 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.
Scenic park featuring walking and biking trails.
What runners say about Lake Olmstead Park
“Real clean a nice just to go sit and look at the Ducks and even fish it's a beautiful clean place to go”
“Update the disc golf course is playable the ADGA has bren out doing work days cleaning it up but still a beautiful course.”
“Great place to fish, walk or just relax, very peaceful not crowded just how i like it didn't see a child or a dog in the 2 hours we were there highly recommended this park”
Love the paved running,walking and cycling trails. You can go to North Augusta and back. Awesome views. Beware of the wildlife. Snakes, Deer, Alligators.
One of the nicest parks in the area. The home of the 2006 world disc golf championship. If you want a place to fish, walk, run and or play some disc golf here is where you want to be. Update the disc golf course is playable the ADGA has bren out doing work days cleaning it up but still a beautiful course.
