Confirmed from Van Buren 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.
Park offering a beach, a playground, sledding hill, and trails, plus picnic facilities.

Beautiful place, winding dirt roads lead you from pavilion to playground with new playscape, to the beach and beach house, has walking paths and bathrooms, and a beautiful landscape & lakescape. Safe feeling Clean and maintained
Spent many days here in the 1960s summers as a kid when this park was a Detroit Edison employee campground. My aunt and uncle had a trailer here. Came back today and had many pleasant memories of the park grounds, beautiful views of the lake, and reminiscing at the beach area. Very nice paved trails.
