Confirmed from Sanborn Lake Trails' 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 Sanborn Lake Trails
Lots of things to smell. Nothing is paved so it really is like your hiking on a dirt trail. The trails crisscross and driver throughout the trail, so you can make it different for yourself and a dog. Highly recommend this trail. Great photographic places the entire way.
Nice walking/running/biking trail around the lake. Picturesque and peaceful. Good for bird watching, fishing or other outdoor activities.
It has been so long since I visited this lake. It has changed a lot in a good way. It's more family friendly with more picnic tables. It looks like some maintenance is being done on the trails. I'll definitely be back soon to take a walk and enjoy the beautiful lake!
This is a very easy loop around the lake with negligible elevation. It's awesome for a nice little dog walk or bike ride, or if you're new to trails in general, with a duration of roughly 20 mins by walk.
