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

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (28 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

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…

★★★★★ — Jess , Jul 2025

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

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
