Confirmed from Wilson Springs Ponds' 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.

Open 24h

Park featuring ponds, trails and fishing, along with ducks and geese.

★★★★★ — Toni , Apr 2025

Lovely place year round to walk and watch the birds. Watch the path and dodge the poop. Fishing here too. Partner caught two good sized trout. Connected to more extensive walking path that extends to Walmart area.
