Confirmed from West Lake Marion 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.
What runners say about West Lake Marion Park
“A beautiful lake with excellent views and a wonderful park for family outings hikes in the park or long days at the beach”
Great short walking trail. Beautiful scenery. Too bad no place to park and walk other than Casperson boat launch other than 4or5 spots on 64. And too bad no history posted in regards to the lakes history.
A beautiful lake with excellent views and a wonderful park for family outings hikes in the park or long days at the beach
Great walking path and beautiful few of the lake. Benches to sit and take in the views.
Absolutely love this place. Great dog park, great walking trails throughout the entire park on each side of the bridge. Great bike park I mean it's beyond anything I have yet to top this one.
