Confirmed from Long 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Beautiful park to come and fish, boat, swim, hang out and have a picnic.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Enjoy fishing long lake when it's quiet.”

Toddler & Beagle approved. Wide open grassy area to explore and run around in, a warm lake to swim/wade/splash around in and most importantly! Swings for my toddler to sprint to and beagle to lope behind her to! Very simple, nice nature park to enjoy the scenery & picnic in.

★★★★★ — Patty , Oct 2021

We always have a great time at Long Lake there is a swing set and fishing large areas of grass to play on although there's not a giant place structure there are lots of trails and you can bring your dogs and you can walk them on the leash great for a birthday party or just a sunny time to barbecue and spend with…

We were lucky to find this park after a short kayak ride as the kids enjoyed the swings and the PFDs are a great idea. Nice grassy park with some big shade trees.

★★★★★ — Jw , Jun 2026

Good place to walk dogs, have a picnic or play games that need large open spaces. There is a small area off to the side for fishing- not in my pics though.

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.
