Confirmed from Lemon Lake 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.
A 403-acre park of woodland, fields & rolling hills, plus many sports fields & 6 disc golf courses.

“This park is serene, clean and well managed.”
“Beautiful park with many long scenic trails, a playground, and even a dog park.”
“This park is serene, clean and well managed.”
“Dogs are welcome so bring your fury friends.”
This park is serene, clean and well managed. The lake itself is small but has an easy, well paved trail. It has restrooms, playground, Frisbee Golf and fantastic catch and release fishing. There is a fee to enter but bring a picnic and make a day out of your visit. Dogs are welcome so bring your fury friends.
Had a great time here with some recovery friends, the park was great at assisting us with getting a pavilion rented for our party. Very spacious lots of tables had power, not sure if they had water?
Been taking the fam here for over 20 years! Awesome play ground, trails are the bestest, lol, and frisbee golf trails are the bomb! Many places to rent for gatherings, too. Plus, they have a dog park to let them fur-babies run off some energy! Epic! I advise getting the annual pass.
Beautiful park with many long scenic trails, a playground, and even a dog park. Highly recommend.
