Confirmed from Newton 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.
Popular lakefront park features a playground, boat launch, covered picnic pavilion & fishing pier.

Really nice park with great views of Lake Apopka. There is a boat launch and paths along the water to enjoy the view.
Very nice place to walk but today there were dead fish from cold spells killing non indigenous tilapia.
