Confirmed from Tony Schmidt Regional 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.
This lakefront park features a swimming beach, playground, boat launch & areas for picnicking.
What runners say about Tony Schmidt Regional Park
“I had a really nice time walking around Tony Schmidt Regional Park with a friend on a beautiful summer afternoon.”

Arden hills is a very boring town however this park makes it a lot less bad, there is a bike jump line, many paved and non paved trails (nice for mountain…
I grew up not too far from here, but it wasn't until I was an adult that I really explored this place. It is a great place to get out and walk the trails, and see some critters along the way too. I recently revisited this place for the first time in many years.
Beautiful park with a lot of trails that go endlessly around, connecting to each other. The railroad tracks are wonderful as well to look at. The ponds are filled with life.
A very nice park in my neighborhood. With good size swimming beach, available kayak for rent (through the app), pavilions or kiosks (some equipped with kitchens) for rent (through phone call) and space for kids. And a good length of trails.
