Confirmed from Marysville Twin Lakes' 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.
Small park with two lakes (one each for adults and kids) for fishing, plus a swimming area.
What runners say about Marysville Twin Lakes
“I've lived around this area my entire life and it's a beautiful park but I-5 is right there making it a bit less peaceful lol I wouldn't eat the fish out of this lake.”

Very enjoyable scenic setting. Peaceful surroundings. Great place to walk your pets and do a little fishing even 😉
I love this little park. There are always people out fishing. I like to walk around the lakes, and get to the little land spit in between the lakes. Its a nice spot to sit and watch the sunset. The parking lot is spacious and quiet. Nice green grass to enjoy and it's not usually very busy here
A nice little nature retreat in the middle of the increasingly modernized Marysville. It's a calm, beautiful spot, particularly nice during the summer. A trail wraps most of the way around the lake. It's a pleasant, quiet little walk with a couple good spots to sit and enjoy the view and sounds of nature.
Haven't been here for more than 20 years. There are now WAY more trails surrounding the lakes than there were when I was younger. Or I just hadn't discovered them (NOT likely!). Seems to be a bit more obvious wildlife around as well. *And I'm not necessarily speaking of you CRAZY Arlingtonians!

“The bathrooms are always clean & they provide life jackets for the kids.”
