Love that you can run in a safe area for many miles. Most running paths end after about 4-5 miles but you can do both lakes for about 7-8 miles. Usually pretty busy with bikers and other runners. Everyone is always really friendly along the path. The big lake (between 156th and 168th) is more well walked than the small lake. Have heard of some sketchy situations on the smaller lake. Overall would recommend.
This is a wonderful large area in the city with a beautiful lake and great walking and biking trails, great place to go and relax
The lake is a no wake lake and has depths to about 25 feet. It was drained a couple of years ago because of zebra mussels. Not sure if that problem is gone. Fishing is poor at best but really never was very good.
This is a wonderful place in Omaha for a long or short run! Highly recommended for a walk with the family, a nice run or bike ride. Great parks for the kids to play in with adjacent restroom facilities. Bring your own snacks and drinks. There are water fountains.
We walk and pick up trash regularly. Can have too many people during peak months and the city does not do a very good job of maintaining it. We love the lake, the walking paths and the playgrounds, just wish people knew how to respect pubic parks.
Lake is nice, but very crowded at times, especially evenings and weekends. Seems like this year the city is not keeping it maintained as well as in past. Mowing is not done as well, and there are a number of areas on the trails that have mud washed over from the spring, never cleaned up. Thankfully, local volunteers pick up trash, so that is much appreciated.
There's a big side (east of 168th) and a small side (west of 168th) - the big side tends to be busier, but is a nice 4.3 miles or so, pretty flat. The small side is a little over 3 miles, and usually has less traffic. Both sides have decent scenery. If you're looking for a spot to run, give it a try!
Zorinsky is very popular but large enough to not feel overly crowded. The paved trails make for easy walking during any weather and the scenes around the lake are diverse as you make the loops. One of our favorite spots in Omaha to enjoy outdoors.
The trails are great for riding a bike, jog, or walk. All the surroundings are clean and well kept. On a sunny day, you can even forget that you are in Omaha. It looks like any great park in a big city, a break from he noise and cement. Love it.
This is a beautiful place to bike, walk, and picnic. The park with the sand buckets were a blast for my kids!
