Confirmed from Lochness 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.
Public park featuring disc golf, a walking trail, and a lake, plus picnic tables and sledding.
What runners say about Lochness Park
“Beautiful walking trail around the lake and one up the hill.”
This park is a combination of a disc golf course and a few walking trails. There's a trail around the lake, and two trails on the north side of varying lengths under a mile. The top loop opens up to a hillside and it's a good place to watch the sunset.
Beautiful walking trail around the lake and one up the hill. There’s Frisbee golf too. Nice hike that takes about 30-45 minutes. Infinite Campus overlooks the park and looks beautiful in the misty snow.
10/10 there is two parking lots one off the main road and one in the neighborhood. There is a floating dock on a lake and a board walk. This is a frisbee golf course.
aka “Garbage Hill Park” by the longtime residents. No sledding allowed now. But this park does offer nice paved walking paths for walking your dog. Dogs are supposed to be leashed and picking up after your dog is performed here!
