Confirmed from Masonic West River 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.
Riverside park offering a playground, picnic tables, and an animal sanctuary, plus camping and canoeing.
What runners say about Masonic West River Park
“It's clean, well maintained, conveniently located, but I wish the city had more then just "online only" assistance.”
“I was out for the Minnesota pottery festival and it was so much fun but the space is beautiful.”
“Peaceful park on the lake with big mature shade trees would be a nice place to camp as the picnic area doubles as a campground.”

Very nice park with camping facilities, bathrooms and a great running or biking trail. The Luce Line trail continues out of the park and goes on for miles. It goes through tunnels under the roads so you don't have to mess with traffic, which is really nice.
Slightly run down, but still nice enough. The walking paths near the river are usually covered by mud/silt. Bleh
Great camping sites in a town with excellent walking & biking trails. Also a preserve with animals.
Such a nice peaceful park. Lots of things to keep you busy; fishing, swimming, paddling, bike trail, basketball hoops, volleyball court and playgrounds. Nice shade trees.
