Confirmed from McManamen 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.
Family-friendly park featuring a lake, picnic areas and walking/jogging trails.

What a wonderful way to enjoy nature! Not sure what the distance the trail runs, but it's a lovely walk. Well maintained and quiet. It has benches placed along the path so you can just sit and enjoy the scenery. We went during spring, so you could watch all of the baby birds.
A beautiful park that circles a man made lake. It's an excellent walk or bike ride. Especially during early spring as I imagine it's full of water. During my visit in July the basin was empty. There is lots of waterfowl and wildlife as well as natural scenery to enjoy.
I stopped at this park while traveling through to let the kids ride their scooters. The path was awesome and even had marks every 1/4 mile. There was plenty of water foul and not too many bugs. There were picnic areas there but we didn't use them.
Beautiful Park, Nice paved path with creatures to check out. Seen a momma duck and her 10 ducklings, a snake, and even a turtle. Only complaint is the Canadian Geese poop all over the path, but can't really contain that.
