Confirmed from Plumb Lake County 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 with walking and hiking trails, fishing, and a playground.
What runners say about Plumb Lake County Park
“Very nice place, well kept and lots of nature!”
“The elevated decks are such a fun addition to the beautiful scenery, and I can't wait until it's spring and the flowers start blooming.”
“If you need a scenic stroll, solid hike, a peaceful field walk, or a trail or cross country run, this is your place.”
I love this park! It’s perfect for a long walk, a quiet day, or a photo session
If you need a scenic stroll, solid hike, a peaceful field walk, or a trail or cross country run, this is your place. You’ll find so many pieces of ecosystem here. Beautiful fields with grass, woods, ravines, marsh and swamp, streams, lake, and gorgeous hills. There is much to explore here.
Beautiful piece of creation. I love this place. The park is not highly developed which was something that attracted me. The trails are incredibly beautiful. They're still building a number of trails though, so not all the trails have a destination. The park also have a unique play area for the children.
Cool trails for some hiking! Don't worry, it is impossible to get lost here ;)
