Confirmed from Phantom Lake 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.
What runners say about Phantom Lake Park
“Very friendly staffs and clean bathrooms.”
“on a clear day, you can find beautiful day, reflection of sky on this lake is priceless.”
“It's hidden away in a quiet residential area and it's not a huge park and has no playground but the dock makes up for it.”
Not too many trails, but great views. Smaller park in general. Lovely natural habitat with many birds, squirrels, indigenous plants -- all secluded from the city. Clean & well maintained. Bathrooms available.
This is a beautiful lake park quiet and calm. wonderful place to meditate and walk or run. small parking area. there is also a bathroom. incredibly peaceful.
Go visit TBUG garden, it's a volunteer run garden. donate to Maybin directly & pick your veggies & salad leaves. Awesome guy !!
Quiet and lots of room to run around. Cool dock area and plenty of seating all around. Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the open grass area
