Confirmed from Madisonville Park Lake South'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 a playground, restrooms, golf, swimming, and other recreational facilities.
What runners say about Madisonville Park Lake South
“In reference to another comment on here, the bathrooms have always been unlocked and extremely clean when I am there.”
“What a lovely and peaceful spot near the water by the golf course ⛳🌊!”
One of my favorite places in the world <3. In reference to another comment on here, the bathrooms have always been unlocked and extremely clean when I am there. They clean up the park every morning. You can't go after hours and expect it to be in operation lol. It is a LOVELY park with lots to do!
Fabulous and inexpensive mini-golf. Quiet walking and Serenity paths. Great Hopkins County time line mural.
Came here for the Christmas light drive through and it was smaller but so cute. I drove through once and circled back to walk through it the second time. I've never been to one that you can park and walk though the areas and it made it so much more enjoyable. I wish everyone did that.
The tennis courts were down as of 12-25-2021 but the park is great! They have frisbee golf though! Went for a jog around the lake trail and the golf course, it'd be awesome if the trail wasn't gravel around the lake but it was still lovely!
