Beautiful natural setting with a 2-mile paved trail around the entire lake, benches strategically located for those who want to rest or just admire the scenery. Short, unpaved forest trails have picnic tables overlooking the lake. The park offers awesome lake views, lots of birds (herons, ducks, cormorants, geese, woodpeckers, qne more). There are softball fields, a batting cage, a fishing pier, covered picnic areas, a big, covered playground for kids, basketball courts, several tennis courts, free entry and free parking, plus restroom facilities. On a recent walk early in the morning a huge bald eagle swooped across the middle of the lake. At peak times (early evening and weekends) the small Lake Pine lot fills quickly, so best to use the Laura Duncan entrance. Kayaks allowed but no swimming. Overall, well maintained. A variety of pedestrians use the trail, including seniors, moms with baby carriages, adults walking dogs (leash required), families with young children, runners and joggers, and a small number of bike riders (NO e-bikes allowed). Attention dog walkers: Free plastic "poop" bags are available near the entry point from the lot to the trail. Sometimes bikers ride too fast and do not shout a warning as they approach. It is important for pedestrians to stay aware of bike traffic at all times. Monitor what is coming towards you and what may be approaching from the rear. Watch for blind curves in the trail. Keep to the right (including your dog). Try not to block the path when walking side-by-side.

This park a little gem in Apex. It's so clean and natural. Love all the wildlife. It's a great place to go if you are looking for a quick 2 mile walk to get away from all the noise and be in nature. Not only does it have a paved trial but also offers dirt trails as well.

Beautiful 2 miles trail. Liked the wildlife this park offers, we spotted few turtles, waterfowl, birds etc. Lovely views of Apex lake. It has paved and unpaved trails, a fishing pier, kids playground. There are two entries to access the trails of this park. It has many benches along the lake trail. Restrooms at the park entrances. Trails are mostly shaded through amazing trees.

Great trail around the lake. Very peaceful, safe and well maintained. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the bathroom that was absolutely disgusting. I absolutely love this park!

Nice flat two mile trail around the lake. You can pick to stay on the pavement or spend a little of your time in the woods

I come here often it is horribly maintained they don't restock the fishing feeders and it is bad for fishing and exploring areas and gets boring it would be cool to come for an afternoon but I suggest just going to bond park it's bigger better views and is way better maintained also people take way to many of the fish home and becomes hard to fish. Just horribly maintained so sad. Edit I do bumpt it up to a four because there are some great views and amazing birds

If the bathrooms were a bit cleaner, I would have given 5 stars. There are so many different activities to do at Apex Community Park - basketball, volleyball, playground, hiking, fishing, baseball, you name it. There are several shelters and places where you can enjoy a picnic. The "Ninja warrior playground" (as my 10 year old calls it) is a huge hit.

Great park for small kids, older kids, teens and adults. Has a great trail around Lake Pine with several benches to stop and view, as well as a dock to fish or just sit at. 3 playgrounds and one is geared more towards agility/ninja for kids fitness. There are also 4 tennis courts, 3 volleyball courts, and 3 basketball courts and 2 or 3 baseball fields, and a soccer field. Basketball court 1 is reserved some days, but the other 2 are just open. There are 2 different restroom areas, one at the entrance and one at the top/back. There are also picnic areas near each restroom. Some of the trail has sidewalk.

We love the 2 mile loop at Apex Community Park. It's mostly flat with a couple large hills and is almost entirely shaded the majority of the walk. There are benches to sit and look at the lake. There is also a dock at the lake to walk out onto and see the turtles. It is well maintained and lots of parking lots. There is a huge playground our kids like to play at. We come here regularly and always enjoy it.

Beautiful walking path around the lake, very lush with trees that provide plenty of shade for a hot day like today. Would love to go paddling on this peaceful lake.

Lovely park, the walk around the lake is almost 2 miles long with lots of side trails leading to neighborhoods, a Greenway and trails under the trees (and off the tar surface).

Very nice paved trail around the lake that's right around 2 miles. It's mostly shaded. Lots of great views of the lake.

This Park in Apex is the best park around that area (the Triangle) it huge 2 miles long and very shady. Has places you can fish and just relax. I definitely recommend going here to relax and take a walk.

This park has a lot to offer in downtown Cary. The best place to have lots of space for walkways and picnic areas under the trees. Come and enjoy the lake view along with the amazing birds and wildlife around.

Probably one of the best outdoor places in Cary/Apex area. Plenty of wildlife to keep you entertained while walking along the 2 mile trail!

Absolutely amazing trail to come and walk or run at! The view of the lake is really good! I come here almost every day and I enjoy it!

Great for a casual walk. 2 miles paved trail around the lake. It has couple of playgrounds for kids to have fun. Beach ball and tennis courts too. Picnic area and lots of benches and picnic tables around the lake. It’s beautiful with some wildlife.

A beautiful oasis in Apex for family walks and play. Mostly shaded, concrete paved loop around the reservoir makes for a super stroller friendly walk. Can get a little crowded when the weather is nice, but everyone is friendly and respectful.

There is a beautiful paved trail winding around the lake. It was mostly flat and shaded. So perfect for almost any level of ability. Scenic forests, small meadows, and creeks entering provided the opportunity for wildlife viewing and for the simple enjoyment of nature so close to town.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The lake part is beautiful for a walk, run or bike ride. There's a connecting park with a playground and baseball diamond. Lots of space. Beautiful year round. Great for watching turtles and birds too.

Peaceful park for a walk or fishing. It has multiple entrances which makes it convenient. I also appreciate the benches along the lake so you can always stop to rest or read a book.

This is a nice 2 mile paved loop around the Apex Community Lake. Great for walking, running and biking. There are all different types of sporting fields and picnic areas. The path can get busy weekdays around 5-6pm and on most weekends. No running water other than the bathrooms so pack accordingly.

Great park! Love that the trail is 2 miles around the lake. People were friendly. The park was clean and felt safe. Perfect spot for a 1 hour midday scenic walk. Our dog loved it!

Nice 2 mile walk around the lake with plenty of places to sit on benches and enjoy the beauty. Nice rest rooms in a very safe areas. Great place for walking or bike riding.

One of our favorite park in the area! Beautiful lake with trial around it. There is also limited options for trials thru forest. When we go for a round on lake trail we almost always stop for the playground area. There is two options , located next to each other one is fenced small playground with swings and average size playground structure and other one is obstacles course for kids, which my kids 2 an 5 love, but older kids will have even more fun there. Toilets are located in two spots on the opposite sides of the lake.

Nice park with a 2 mile walking trail along the lake. Good size parking, also has restrooms. NIce water views from a wooden deck built on the trail. We spotted turtles in the lake. Kids will definitely enjoy the nature walk.

I enjoyed my weekend in this park.good place to childran.

Nice place to walk. The paths are well groomed and well marked. There are plenty of benches to reflect.
