Confirmed from Woodstork Trail/Hillmoor Lake 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.

My wife and I enjoy this quite park. The walk around loop is paved and about 1.8 easy miles. We walk here often and enjoy the birds , turtles and fish along with an occasional aligator. There are public restrooms and well placed park benches. It's well maintained and picturesque .

★★★★☆ — Denny , May 2018

Nice, quiet, little paved path right off of Hillmoor. Path goes around a lake.

★★★★☆ — Tiffany , Feb 2023

A Magnificent and Magical Place! Tucked away down the road from St. Lucie Medical Center is this beautiful gem -- Woodstork Trail/Hillmoor Lake Park. There is a paved walking trail and bike path that circles the lake.

★★★★★ — Steven , Nov 2022

View of the day, Beautiful sunset an alligator…the park is well kept and the wildlife is festive. The bike trail is lovely, perfect place to take the family for outdoor activities. Not to mention the fitness workout stations, lots of equipment to choose from to workout.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
