Confirmed from Lakeland County 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.
Accessible boardwalk, dog friendly park featuring a pond and a playground for kids.
What runners say about Lakeland County Park
“Very beautiful and pleasant park to go for an afternoon walk with the family.”
Cute place. There's a playground and several basketball courts for the kids. Decent size parking lot. The paths are boardwalk and dirt/grass. Very scenic and natural.
Extensive network of boardwalks over wetlands makes this park somewhat unique. Boardwalks are extended by land trails at perimeter of the park. There is a pass under highway leading to Connetquot River state park via Greenbelt trail.
A beautiful walk through the forest. Ideal to bring kids. Nothing to really worry. They can run around without fear. Safe Playground.
