Confirmed from Ronald D. Lehman Community 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.

well-maintained 9 mentions

“The park itself seems very well maintained and has lot of things to do for families.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Well maintained too, beautiful scenery.”

Except for some local residents who tried to cause a fight in "their park" because kids were throwing mud at each other (It's kids. Correct your kids and we'll take care of ours. Not even my kids, a relatives.) it was a nice park. Clean with lots of shade and (mostly) friendly residents.

★★★★☆ — Christina , Aug 2019

This park is very well kept and Channahon Park District is great. They have a lot of events at the park for families, many of them free. There's a splash station, pavilions, kids playground, basketball, tennis, disc golf, and a nice paved path all the way around. There is also access to the I & M Canal.

★★★★★ — Jerry , Apr 2016

Never too crowded, so nice for a quiet walk. Has a paved track, softball and baseball field, basketball hoops, and nice kids playground. In the summer it also has a nice water area for there kids.

★★★★☆ — Psooner90 , Oct 2016

I was there for a cross country meet. This place is a true cross country course. Also, great spectator course for everyone. Well maintained and clean. Good place to go with the family for a walk.

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.
