Confirmed from Reservoir 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 Reservoir Park
Banger classssic spot ☝️☝️🔥🔥🔥 in the middle of nowhere 😩😩😩 New Milly hidden gem don’t tell anyone 🤫🤫🤫 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🫡🫡🫡 I made a bunch of pokestops there if anyone tryna play pokemon go but good luck getting cell service This park trail/bridges was made by a boy scout troop in 2008 I believe and it’s so awesome that they did…
There is a loop trail that goes around the lake which is nice. There is limited parking so you usually do not see other people on the trail.
Trail conditions & character
