Confirmed from Stahl's Lake County 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.

Natural surface

Park with walking, cycling and cross country ski trails, plus a playground and picnic tables.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Was just beautiful to be out on the lake.”

I liked this little park. It looked like it had some neat groomed bike trails. I do not bike so can't say much else about them. All trails only appear to be about 0.55 mile long so it's a quick walk. Playground is small, but everything was well maintained.

Hidden haven for sure. I like the single track trails, and always enjoy a few loops out there. I like to chill and grill some food while I'm there.

Great little park to hike in!!! Each time that I have come here I have seen some wildlife as well!!!

★★★★★ — Lance , Aug 2020

Was an awesome trail to jog on in the woods!!! Didn’t see a single soul except some deer ! Best to come on weekdays

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.
