Confirmed from Schumaker 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.

Calm, family-friendly park featuring a large playset, hiking trails and a disc golf course.

What a beautiful park! This park is sprawling and has everything your nature loving family needs for a great day spent outside. Frisbee golf, a large playset(ages 5-12), a huge pavilion with an extra large grill, trails that seem to go on for miles, and a well maintained, open(during park hours) bathroom.

Schumaker Park is such a peaceful and scenic spot- perfect for an afternoon walk, picnic, or quiet time by the lake. The walking trail is clean and well-maintained, surrounded by trees and wildlife that make it feel like a true escape from the city.

★★★★★ — Wanderwithakif , Oct 2025

This place is so big so much to do from trails to fishing to being on the lake you can spend all day here having so much fun can't wait to come back

★★★★★ — Tracey , Mar 2024

Good fishing, covered pavilions, waterfront benches. Just wish it had a proper walking trail.

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.
