Confirmed from Robbins Island Regional 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.
55 lakefront acres with a swimming beach, boat launches, disc golf & big, accessible playground.
What runners say about Robbins Island Regional Park
“Beautiful park that looked well maintained and had nice walking paths through the woods and by the water.”
Great park with lots of amenities and facilities. We love the playground and checking out the music here. Beautiful holiday light display in December. Bring your bike and ride the trails. Lots of picnic tables to sit and enjoy a meal.
Great park- probably the best in town for kids. Fantastic paved trail that's long and good for longboarding, biking, or rollerblading. Very dog friendly park too, wonderful for walking.
We love Robbins island and cannot wait to bring the kiddos in our family next summer! I love hiking there with my friends and family, there’s lots of opportunities to be by the water without being crowded.
They have a playground my grandchildren love. There is a swimming beach that gets an adults can use. Footlake is a very good fishing lake walleye's sunfish crappies Northern pikes and perch like I said very good fishing they have fishing docks boat landings very nice walking park
