Confirmed from McLaughlin-Norcross Memorial Dell Haddon Lake 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.
Big park with a lake for fishing & small boats, plus playgrounds, an amphitheater & softball field.

Fantastic spot in Haddon heights, wonderful little concerts in the amphitheater with trails and playgrounds right there. Lovely spot to walk around.
Great walking trails for beginners. Do yourself a favor and take the sandy path that starts behind the pavilion. The path starts as asphalt but quickly turns to sand. The path meanders along the Newton Creek through fields and shady trees.
Great little park. It's clean, there's a lot of friendly fisherman, and dog walkers. As others have said, the geese are somewhat oppressive.
Great park with beautiful lake and mile long walking path. Love coming here with the kids.
