Confirmed from Lone Star Lakes 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.

Relaxing, some wildlife, great place to walk. You can normally find a pond with no people and dogs are common. There are fish but the freshwater ponds are overfished and unstocked. Crane lake and cedar creek are brackish and have puppy drum, specks, and small saltwater fish.

Lone star lakes Parks is a fantastic place to go and visit in the Suffolk Virginia area. There are biking trails that are quite varied and extensive. There are trails where you can jog on a nice very path. You can also find just a lot of flat surface if you prefer that to slight inclines.

Gorgeous secluded park! My favorite place to walk my dog in the Suffolk area because it’s so quiet and the trails actually take you through the woods. My only complaint is I wish they had more trails that were longer but otherwise it’s perfect!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
