Confirmed from The Park At New Melle Lakes' 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.
Rolling former golf course featuring 18-hole disc golf, lakes for kayaking and fishing.
What runners say about The Park At New Melle Lakes
“The park is great with long paved trails for hiking and a beautiful big lake with several smaller lakes.”
“This is such a serene, quiet place to walk, sit and just be.”
This is such a serene, quiet place to walk, sit and just be. I've taken my dogs here before also. Visited Memorial Day weekend and there were quite a few fisherman, lots of people with their dogs and people playing disc golf. My mom and I were just here to walk and picnic.
A large park with a few short paved trails intersecting. For the most part the trails have views of the water which is nice. A great place to visit.
Nice, large park with a few miles of paved trails for walking and running (suitable for bikes, as well). The kids enjoyed the storybook walk that is set up by the county library. Plenty of space to fish (catch and release only) around the perimeter of the main lake and several smaller ones. Kayaks available to rent.
Lovely park with miles of paved trails. Gently rolling hills with lake views, open fields and wooded areas offer a nice variety for walking or biking. The park also has a great frisbee golf course and areas for catch and release fishing. I'll definitely be back!
