Confirmed from Opechee 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.
Lakeside park, featuring a playground and a skate park.
What runners say about Opechee Park
“Love this park, plenty of play structures, clean picnic tables, very clean grounds, and a nice sandy beach area.”
Nice little beach to sit and enjoy with young children with a small playground and picnic tables. There is beautiful track to get your walk or run in, and a an enclosed skateboard area. All around quite nice!
It's nice when there aren't a lot of people. Wouldn't swim in the water but nice to have a picnic lunch or walk to and let the kids play.
