Confirmed from Ridge 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 Ridge Lake Park
Just want to note that yes this is a new park and Phase 1 was recently completed. Phase 2 will include the addition of walking trails, a playground and some other things. Give Sugar Hill a chance before posting negative reviews.
For those posting negative reviews because of lack of options, calm down. They just finished phase 1. Phase 2 and beyond will include playground, walking trails etc. Be patient.
2 dog parks, bathrooms, and fishing allowed under 16 years old no fishing license required. It's catch and release only. Beautiful trails and nice park.
Nice and new park.. great for people and dogs..fenced area for the dogs. Walking /running trails. Catch and release fishing pond. Restrooms.

“Well the pond is full, and there are more phases coming, and the water in the dog park was shut off due to extremely cold Temps.”
“Has restrooms and picnic tables It's new, so it's still has plenty of areas marked for maintenance /grass seeding etc.”
