Confirmed from The Miracle Field at Lake Idamere 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.
45-acre green space with a dog park, playground & fishing pier, plus picnic shelters & a ball field.

This is a lovely park with several different walking areas and playgrounds. My husband was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms. It was fun to find wild blackberries growing all along the edge of the lake.
I came here today for the first time, and I love it! I didn't know this park existed until I was at the Lake County Animal Shelter the other day. Came to Lake Idamere Park for a picnic, and ended up walking around exploring.
Been here a few times and many more to come. You can lose track of time here easily. Bathrooms are shockingly clean, great shade, beautiful views, much to do, a LOT of space easily 7+ Pavilions, plenty of parking. Shade shade and more shade. Never enough shade in FL.
This was a super cute little park, and the kiddos loved it!! It was a great place for them to run out energy before our 10 hour drive home. It had a lot of different things to do and I loved the little stage area it had for them to put on a show. It has really good paths for a nice stroll and it's very shaded.
