Confirmed from Lansing Center Trail'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.

Great place to walk your dog or just take a walk. Trail is well maintained with great views
This trails area is beautiful. It's almost always a good chance of spotting wildlife, not just birds. I've stood in a trail and glanced in the brush at a deer lying in the cool dirt, close enough that i could have touched her (i didn't out of respect). Last night, no deer but a few rabbits and lots of songbirds.
Quiet, well kept, scenic walking trails. Love bringing my dogs here. Dog waste bags are available. Please pick up after your dog. Lots of butterflies to see late summer. I could walk between 15 minutes to over an hour here. Some trails go into the woods.
It's a great trail that is mostly level ground. It is plowed in winter and cut in summer. They also have poop bags for doggie waste! They offer several different paths that are short or longer distance and a map to show you where to go.
