Confirmed from Park Lookout'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 park offering a lookout point with lake views, plus biking and hiking trails.
What runners say about Park Lookout
“Beautiful nature space with a nice walking path overlooking the lake, and tons of wildlife.”
Beautiful nature space with a nice walking path overlooking the lake, and tons of wildlife. Very close to major roads though, so if you're looking to escape the slightly obnoxious hum of humanity, this might not be your cup of tea.
Love it here! Peaceful and large enough to get a good walk, run or bike ride in or just sit and relax with a book or enjoy the sunrise or sunset along with the wild life!💕 Off Whitaker Rd. there is a great playground and a few grills to enjoy a BBQ!
Beautiful little secret spot in Ypsilanti. Great trails, wild life and work out spots. If only the highway were not so close.
Good picnic sites and walk along the water. You can find sun or shade. The lookout itself has a lot of graffiti.
