Confirmed from Stoever's Dam 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.
Relaxed haven with a boating area and fishing dock, as well as trails for hiking, plus campsites.
What runners say about Stoever's Dam Park
“One of the best places to visit in Lebanon pa to take a Beautiful Walk Along the Paths in Nature 💯 and enjoy the Beauty of God's Glory in the Surrounding”
“So peaceful, such a good place to unwind & reconnect w/ nature without having to go very far if you're in the city.”
“Great place to take an easy walk lightly graveled walk.”
I go here a lot since I moved to Lebanon to just walk the trail or simply fish for hours. I'm a starter fisherman but I love it so much even on days I don't catch anything. This place is so relaxing and beautiful no matter which side you're on. I also love to take pictures around here. At night it's soo peaceful.
One of my favorite places to run in town. Though I wish they would re-pebble the trail and maybe more drainage for water that collects on the trail.
They have a trail that goes around the lake that is about a mile and a half loop. It’s mostly gravel. Also have benches if you need them. I was there in the middle of the afternoon and most of the trail was shaded.
Multiple parking lots located around the dam offer easy access. Boat ramp, picnic tables, and even a handicapped dock for fishing. I do not know if there were public bathrooms although I did see a port-a-potty close by. Camp grounds with bbq stations.

“Bathrooms were all transportable, except for the one in the nature barn, but that one did not rely on running water.”
