Confirmed from Lakeview 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.
Kid-friendly park for activities like fishing and kayaking plus a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about Lakeview Park
“Needs some maintenance but the lake view is always beautiful no matter what season it is.”
One of my favorite parks to come to! Needs some maintenance but the lake view is always beautiful no matter what season it is. It's also fun to watch some of the geese chase each other around haha. Definitely recommend coming if you enjoy some scenic views💓
Nice place to fish.There isn’t to many trails because of the water, and it is very deep.Please be careful. If you got a animal put a leash on it, to much water for a pet to be near unless it has a leash.The bathroom is the little brick building.
Quiet and was just what I needed to get some peace and gather my thoughts. The trails are a nice find too. I continuously spend my afternoons here; it gives me peace after a long workday.
