Confirmed from Pattison Park Lakeside'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.

★★★★★ — Deborah , Jul 2024

Beautiful, smallish park with a small fishing pond. Nice for nature strolls or longer wooded hikes. I always leave feeling tranquil and peaceful.

★★★★★ — Kristin , Apr 2025

The park is currently being remodeled and expected to fully open again in spring 2020. They are in the process of building a new restroom and shelter area. As a note the lake is for open fishing and is a great place to bring the little ones for their first fishing experience.

★★★★★ — Andrew , Nov 2019

Very relaxing place to go if you're going for catch and release fishing. Also very small trails that are very scenic and those who cannot walk long distances, or handicap bound may benefit from the trails. The restrooms are somewhat clean but could be handled better. Not very much fish in the lake either.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
