Confirmed from Palmetto Point 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.
Relaxed green space featuring a disc golf course, paved trails and exercise stations.
What runners say about Palmetto Point Park
“Clean restrooms and very scenic views all along the lake as well as in the woods where the golf course was.”
“Clean restrooms and very scenic views all along the lake as well as in the woods where the golf course was.”
“Peaceful and when others are working out they're very generous and considerate of you.”
First time to come disc golf. Wife and I and a 8 and 4 year old. Beautiful place to just walk around and play disc golf. Weird thing though, quite a bit of broken glass on some of the trails. Watch your kids when they get running around. Great place for nature found a big black snake while getting disc out of brush.
Beautiful park! Great for walking with a paved walk around the water, but the disc golf course is incredible. This was my first time playing disc golf and I feel bad fornither courses to follow. This set a high bar. It's a lot of fun and I look forward to coming back. Enjoy this amazing park!
Had no idea that this gem is about a half mile from my house! Took my sidekick (chocolate labrador) today for a hike. This place is HUGE!! Used her smarttag to map and track the distance, and in about an hour, we walked 1.5 miles! And I know that we didn't cover the whole thing.
I go here to walk the dog on the 1/2 mile trail around the pond, it's safe and there are rest rooms. for the active person -- there's a disc golf course in the woods, great trails to walk during the summer heat.
