Park at OTB at the boat house and do this 6 mile run full circle around the lake . Especially awesome at night with full or near full moon. One of the best 10k routes in the city .

Love the new gastropub thing that they have going on in the boathouse . It's a perfect way to relax after doing the five mile loop with my daughter =) good beers and good food

Anthony Boerio

Great place to run...in the winter! Too crowded , especially with stupid dog owners, in the summer. Um, a retractable leash is not a leash; get a real one and learn how to control ur dog.

Brian Stanley

Training for a marathon? Park at the boathouse . Turn RIGHT out of the parking lot and get going! Great 5 mile loop around the park with some nice hills . Once you end up back where you turned right out
