Confirmed from Wock Family Lake & Walking Trail'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.
Popular lake and park known for fishing and for its trail.

“Peaceful and clean surroundings.”
It is a beautiful serine place to walk & enjoy God's world. The people r friendly & I especially LOVE when the dogs r all there & playing in the water. It's a perfect place to go & enjoy the outdoors!! Very neat & clean.
This park is a hidden gem. Nice flat paved trail to walk around the lake and enjoy the ducks and geese. Benches along the way in case you need to rest. There is also a nice covered wooden gazebo to get out of the sun and enjoy a picnic. Fishing is allowed in the lake, but no swimming. Very clean and nicely maintained.
Beautiful place to enjoy! My kids father who passed would take them there to go fishing. I now take them there to eat lunch walk the trail or just hang out
This is the best park in town, I walk here almost every single day for the past few years. It is also a decent place for fishing.
