Confirmed from Tamarack 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.
What runners say about Tamarack Park
“The marsh lands behind the tree line past the parking lot are beautiful to behold and filled with ducks and other birds.”
“Nice quiet spot to relax and have lunch across from the pond.”
Small, quaint park off the side of the road. Great for a lunch break or to take the dog. Pulling into the parking lot you can see the giant reservoir for Taunton's drinking water. When I was there were about three different species of geese hanging out near the mouth of the lake.
Scenic and beautiful. Lake in the front and the marsh behind gives a different beauty to the place. Good place to watch different types of birds also.
Pretty little park, I ran my Traxxas Rustler all over the place. Great spot for running my Rc truck. pretty view of the lake.
