Confirmed from Lake Yahou Park Trail Head'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“It’s was still fun and the fall foliage was beautiful.”

It's very beautiful this time of year. The trail around the lake is great.

★★★★★ — Frieda , Mar 2023

I walked UXO trail around Lake Yahou. It was a strenuous hike for me because of all the switchback trails going up and down the two hills. It’s was still fun and the fall foliage was beautiful. Probably an easy hike for young hikers. I’m 67 and a rookie hiker.
