Confirmed from Lake Seminole 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.
Sanctuary for alligators & other wildlife with multi-use trails, water sports & picnic shelters.
What runners say about Lake Seminole Park
“(Edit as of March 2025) Despite the hurricane last year having done some damage, they still keep this park beautiful, along with the wonderful community efforts to keep it clean!”

“Plenty of parking and shaded areas Also a great place to take your dogs, just please pick up after them.”
“Even though there are plenty of people there, it's very quiet and plenty of paths to walk on.”
Best walking/running trail. Shaded for the summer time. I always do the 2 mile trail with my dog. She loves it. She took me to a lil path that led to the lake shown in the pics. Lots of restrooms. Looks like they did some pavement work too. This was my childhood park.
Great place to unwind. This park is large, well treed with plenty of shade on hot sunny days. We took our pup and walked all around the park. There are 2 inner ponds and a lake front area for boaters and others to enjoy. We saw a float boarder on the lake the day we were here.
Grew up growing to this park. It’s a hidden gem in overcrowded Pinellas County. Beautiful wildlife. Don’t let your dogs near the water. Gators wait in the mud below the waters edge and have been known to snatch up anything with a pulse… Awesome place to connect to nature and ground your energy.
Fabulous parking with great pedestrian friendly trails great for biking, hiking, skating, skipping & running. Plenty of family options to include picnic shelters, playgrounds & a dog park. Great for recreational fishing to includes easy access boat ramps surrounded by a plethora of smaller lakes. Great fun 😁
