Confirmed from Lake View 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.

“Nice clear water, Sandy beach, dog friendly”

Peaceful early am walk on beach located just east immediately of park area

★★★★☆ — Cameron , Aug 2023

Dog friendly park. It's great to take the dogs to the beach and let them run and swim, then walk on the trails. We take a backpack with a picnic lunch and dog treats and spend hours there. It's very peaceful and relaxing for me, and the dogs have an absolute blast.

It's quiet , great place to take the dog to the beach & run of the leash, not alot of dogs to contend with. it is clean, not a lot of bugs ( fleas, ticks, ect,). Plus, if the pooch is up for it, there's small fire pits around for a sunset & a campfire.. paths to the beach could be improved.

★★★★☆ — James , Aug 2023

Beautiful sunrise watch spot.. Also one of the designated dog run areas in the city.. There are pavilions that you can rent for events. The only negative thing about this place is that it is located right next to the wastewater treatment facility, so when the wind is right, it gets quite stinky..

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
