Confirmed from Pike 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 Pike Lake Park
“It’s beautiful but easy enough to mistake a private drive for walking path.”
Very small tucked away park. It’s beautiful but easy enough to mistake a private drive for walking path.
This is such a beautiful little hidden park! There is a short looping trail about .25 mile through the woods, along a stream, down to Pike Lake, up a little hill through more woods, and then back to the beginning. Along the trail you will find a covered picnic table, a bench swing, and some really lovely views.
