Confirmed from Rolla Lions Club Den and 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.

Beautiful park with a lake and paved trail. There is plenty of playground equipment and picnic areas. We didn't fish but there were families there fishing.

This place is a super fun and calm place to be. They have playgrounds, two baseball/wiffleball/kickball fields, disc golf, areas to fish, some amazing mountain biking trails. They host NICA races here yearly. It is a beautiful setting. Perfect for whatever weather.

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.
