Confirmed from Peck Road Water Conservation 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.
This 5-acre green space on Mungi Lake has fishing & picnic areas, plus trails for biking & walking.

Great park with two big lakes where many come to fish, a very peaceful area with a great view of the San Gabriel Mountains, there are picnic tables and barbecues for family gatherings and walking trails throughout this well maintained park..The Rio Hondo Bike path ends here in Arcadia.
Really nice place for nature lovers. Birds, and some wildlife. You cam walk around the lake but is is a long walk. Lots of natural native plant life.
The popular recreational park. Very nice and peaceful lake with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background. Every season has its own charm. I love this park. Your dog allowed. It covers over 100 acres and features a variety of natural habitats, including wetlands, ponds, and grassy areas with picnic tables.
