Confirmed from Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline'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.
Waterfront space with a picnic area, beach, fishing pier, panoramic views & a model railroad museum.
What runners say about Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline
“Clean park, decent parking and during the week the play ground was pretty empty.”
“A beautiful waterfront public park with ample benches, open fields, a cute lagoon, stunning views of the Bay and plenty of parking and public restrooms”
“It's a pretty easy hike to get to a nice view.”
In a city that’s long struggled with inequality and pollution, this protected stretch of land is a small but powerful victory. It’s a reminder that some things should be preserved, not just for the some, but for everyone who seeks peace, meaning, or a moment to breathe.
Great park to walk the shoreline, view the city from across the bay, and enjoy a picnic. Parking lot fills up fast, but there's plenty of street parking. Restrooms are available, not always clean, but usually stocked with paper.
Very popular park for locals. It’s family friendly. Non challenging walking paths. Surrounded by hillsides with great 360 vistas, an old historic fishing pier that’s a favorite with locals.
This is a great park! If you want to BBQ and have great views of the Bay, this is an excellent choice. If you want to hike, it is also a really fun option. I did a big loop starting at Old Country Road, continuing up to Crest Trail Point, and the views were outstanding.

“It features a small lagoon with geese, lush greenery, and a welcoming atmosphere for dogs.”
“the hiking trails are not super hard but i wouldn't consider them to be easy either, since there are a few steep inclines and descents, and the gravel can make things slippery.”
“Everything was kept in nice condition, however the water fountains were not working and there was goose and seagull poop all over the grass near the shore of the lake.”
