Confirmed from Maple 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.

What runners say about Maple Lakes Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (83 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a great little park. It includes a nearby soccer field, basketball court, baseball diamond, and paved trail access. I brought my 4, 2, and 1 year old and they had a blast. I would definitely recommend it for young kids!

★★★★★ — Grant , May 2024

This is a nice park. It has very good walking paths. It has a nice playground. Baseball field, good basketball court, soccer field, and 2 large ponds/small lakes with tons of ducks/geese/etc.

★★★★★ — Jesse , Aug 2020

Great park off the beaten path. Soccer field, baseball or softball diamond, play ground and pond. Trails running around the park give it a nice vibe while you are enjoying the day with your family. Good place for flying a kite, playing some sport, or having a nice afternoon in the sun.

★★★★★ — Chris , Jul 2023

Maple Lakes Park is a peaceful and scenic spot ideal for leisurely walks, picnics, and enjoying nature. The park features well-kept trails, open green spaces, and a serene lake view that adds to its charm. A great place to relax and unwind with family or friends.

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.
