Confirmed from Pine 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.
Park featuring plenty of nature and kid-friendly hikes, plus geese.
What runners say about Pine Lake Park
Pines Lake Park on any given season to observe the path less traveled, absorb the elements, whisper poetry & bring friends.
My favorite place to walk my dog. Major work being done at the south end of the pond now. Removing contaminated silt.
Great for hikes great for photos great for fishing kayaking and I believe they have a soccer field
A beautiful place to walk around right now. It is going to be wonderful when done.
