We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Waters Edge Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Waters Edge Park
“The part of Lenape Trail running along Waters Edge Park is very picturesque, offering nice views of the lakeside and featuring beautiful wooden bridge.”
This is a community park which connects to Lenape trail and the Mills pond park. It submerged under water on August 22, 2021 with Hurricane Henri’s storm.
One thing to bear in mind is that Waters Edge Park is not a sightseeing destination per se but is a part of the bigger area consisting of Lenape Trail (its western extension) and Mill Pond Park.
Beautiful walking trail of 2.1 miles going through some apartment backyards, following the lake. Connects to George Davidson road on the other end
