Lake Johnson Running Route

Lake Johnson Park wraps a big, quiet lake with a long boardwalk across the water. The Park Mile route is the East Loop.

The route

• Distance: about 2.9 miles for the East Loop.
• Terrain: paved greenway with rolling hills and the boardwalk.
• Extend it: the full loop around the lake is about 4.6 miles.

Tips

• The boardwalk is the highlight — morning mist is magical.
• Hilly sections — great training.
• Kayak rentals in season.
