Confirmed from LeFleur's Bluff State Park Mayes Lake'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.
A 305-acre park of lakes, forests & fields that offers camping, fishing & a 9-hole golf course.
What runners say about LeFleur's Bluff State Park Mayes Lake
“Although old it seems to be very well maintained as everything in the bathroom/shower house and campsite were in working condition.”
“It is rare that my beautiful bride is off on a Saturday so, we took advantage of it and rode the museum trail.”
“The park is well-maintained, peaceful, and perfect for walking, biking, or just spending some quiet time outdoors.”
Nice shaded SP. Over half of the sites back up to the lake with excellent views. It has one washer and dryer at $2 each. Spot 15-17 are big rig friendly ( 45'). However, 17 has a low spot that accumulates water and stays wet.
Loved the trails! I only gave 4 stars because the fact I was confused about where my dog could go. I had to bring him back home and then go back to finish the trail. Had a great time with my daughter 😄
Qo perfume place for large gatherings. Remember, it is the great outdoors. Wear insect repellent and be prepared to fish and walk. Enjoy.
