Confirmed from Palm Beach Lake Trail'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 waterfront park featuring paved biking trails, jogging paths and lush vegetation.
What runners say about Palm Beach Lake Trail
“One side is the impressive, well kept landscape, the other side by the water is their private dock and crabs climbing, within many beetles and animal a.”
“A relaxing stroll through the lovely gardens was just what I needed and having art mixed in among the gorgeous and well-tended tropical gardens made it perfect.”
“Easy walk, beautiful and captivating view.”
It’s a best way to see the locals, life and truly special of what’s palm beach about. 5.5 miles of trail walk is paved and flat. Passing through life of locals backyards, museums, gardens, yachts docks and some of the most exclusive mansions. Locals walk around, Nannie’s and dog walkers.
I love coming here for an early morning ride to take advantage of the cooler and more shaded path. This is not a place for large bike groups, 1-2 bikes max because the path is narrow and suited for walking as well. The path goes by the Flaggler museum and a beautiful old church.
Gorgeous bike & walking path around Palm Beach. My friend & I celebrated both of our birthdays in Palm Beach for an entire day. We started with the Palm Beach Lake Trail. We were grateful we had the trail to ourselves in late October before the snow birds were down. Beautiful scenery with ocean views on the trail !!!
It's a really nice trail along the water, in a safe neighborhood. With beautiful views 😍😍
