Reservoir Park

2 mile packed sand/​gravel loop around a beautiful resoviour. Path is semi shaded with a nice breeze near water. Exercise stations along path. Frisbee Golf in wooded setting. Wildlife like ducks, geese, squirrels, birds, and lizards. Appropriate for dogs on leashes, exercise strollers, bicycles, joggers and walkers. Benches throughout the area. Picnic benches under trees and in a pavilion.

This is a great trail, with lots of great scenery including several outlooks along the trail. The distance is perfect for getting your blood pumping on a nice afternoon walk or run. We pushed a stroller here, but it was a tad too bumpy in areas (not paved). Several connecting trails give options to adjust the distance if wanted. The trail seemed safe as well.

Great running/​biking trail that runs almost two and a half miles around the lake and attaches to other trails that spread elsewhere and also go for miles according to the maps they have posted.
The loop around the lake is really nice, there are a couple little wooden bridges to cross as you wind in and out of the trees getting a different view of the lake every time.
Scenic Lake to canoe, kayak, dock and spaces to fish or do other recreational activities. There are many picnic areas and even a disc golf course.
My dog and I love to run here and after, he likes to take a dip in the lake with the ducks to cool off, just be careful for the snapping turtles !! We learned the hard way…
Gotta check it out!

Gorgeous park that is perfect for a walk or run! I love to take advantage of the beautiful weather by getting out there as much as possible! There are also some nice picnic shelters and benches that would be fun to utilize. Love the reservoir!

Gorgeous this time of year (April) with the dogwoods in bloom, butterflies and cardinals. Plenty of parking. Even when the lot is full it never gets crowded on the trails.
I always have a great time here, whether running the loop a couple times, strolling around the reservoir turtle watching or taking the dog for a brisk walk.
The loop around the reservoir is only a couple miles and totally flat so its good for everybody. Clean bathrooms and even a place to do pull-​ups.
Highly recommended. We’re lucky to have this open space. It would be great if they could do something about the sewage stank just over the bridge though.

This is a really great park. It has onsite restrooms, 2 picnic shelters, numerous picnic tables, a beautiful reservoir that you can fish in, there is a walking trail encircles the reservoir that is 2.1 miles in length so it makes for a very nice walk. This trail has numerous benches along the way for folks to sit and enjoy an afternoon, it also ties into several other walking trails as part of the Southern Pines walking/​biking trail system, these trails are very well maintained an make for enjoyably walking/​biking. The park also had an 18 basket Disc Golf course that is designed for beginner to intermediate players that is kept in excellent condition. This park is very well used, their is always somebody around if you should need some help. In warmer months there is a park person on hand. Whenever we go which is quite often their are always folks there walking, running, walking their dogs, fishing, and playing Disc Golf, and biking. Boats are allowed on the reservoir as long as they do not have gas motors. Electric trolling motors only.
