Editorial Review for Lake Johnson Nature Park – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
One of Raleigh's most scenic parks, Lake Johnson is a favorite destination for joggers, walkers and bikers. The trails themselves can be challenging (thanks to a few steep hills), but they're shady and frequently offer gorgeous views of the park's 150-acre lake. The park's shelter is stocked with rocking chairs, making it possible to rock away an entire afternoon while watching people paddle around in rental boats.

User Reviews for Lake Johnson Nature Park

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The nature trail here is a great place to walk, run, or go for a bike ride. It is very long and challenging due to numerous hills that run throughout. The best thing is that most of the trail is shaded which can be a great advantage on a hot summer day.

Pros: Long trail, Nice scenary, Nice paved trail

4 Star Rating: Recommended

The park is very nice. It is sad that many dog owners allow their dogs to soil the the paths so everyone else has to watch where they step; disgusting!

Pros: pretty setting

Cons: Dog feces on walking
