    This is for current conditions, on today, 17 SEP 2022. There is significant construction in the whole area. Looks like a much needed renovation improvement of this whole part of Baltimore, MD. The parking is along the side roads that ring the park. It is well used, plenty of walkers, cyclists, runners. It is not a place to safely ride fast (over 10-12 mph). While I have over the years seen groups of road bikes pretending to be on a time trial, this is just not that kind of resource. Most people meander about with their face in a phone or with head phones/ear buds. Little kids are generally unsupervised and meander in the roadway. Today the parks department was there with free rental cruisers---so very inexperienced riders being introduced to the sport, which is great, but comes along with a certain amount of aimless wandering. Not a destination ride by any means, but if you are local it is worth checking out. A loop around the lake is 1.5 miles. Across Harford Rd is Herring Run Park, there is a trail that goes out through the neighborhood and around the Herring Run streambed. It is paved and well shaded, mostly empty at least today. We saw a few runners, one other cyclist. That might be the hidden gem of the whole thing. The trail is 3.5/4 miles around.

    Visited a friend in the area. Some streets are cleaner than others. It's like you're in a nice neighborhood then a few blocks over is the hood. I went jogging around lake Montebello. That was beautiful and there were lots of people out of a Sunday morning exercising too. The neighborhood looked nice. Single family homes that looked historic or Victorian to me, I'm no professional on housing structures. Quiet neighborhood. There was a house for sale on Kentucky Ave on Zillow for about$400k to give you an idea of who lives there. If I had the money I'd move there right by the lake. Baltimore has some nice hidden neighborhoods like these. I'm sure things go on there at night. There are used condoms on the ground where cars Park but not in walking Lanes. There is a water fountain by the pump house. Cool workout stations. No shade trees if you are walking the lake but there are trees around the outer perimeter where you park your car. You can walk your dog but must have a leash and pick up after them. They is also a bike lane. 1.2 miles around.

    Always a good experience. 1.3 Mike walk around, the water and birds offer a pause and calm along with the exercise.

    I have always lover going for a run here. Last month I was there and just about sunset came back to my car only for a gentleman to be waiting for me to tell me some kids were trying to break I my car and that they were kicking it. After examining all the mud prints I determined they were jumping up and down on my hood and dented my baby. I love the lake but these kids are out of hand. After walking up to a car being broken into a while back I had stopped coming to Montabello but now I am officially done. I don't even keep anything in my car and it's not fair we can't enjoy simple pleasures without worrying about our property or our safety

    This was a great experience for me being out at Lake Montebello. Walking around the lake as far as possible due to the work being done was good. It's very peaceful there and everyone walking by says Hello even if they are on the phone or with other people.

    A nice place for outdoor recreation. A plus that they have workout stations to assist you to incorporate body weight training in your routine if you don't go to the gym or have a membership. I ride my bike here and was pleased save for all the construction blocking you from making it around the entire loop. There are similar conditions at Druid Park. I wish they go and finish.

    I love this lake. Especially during quarantine it’s a great place to get some exercise. The path around the lake is wide enough to safely social distance from others. I come here 4-5 times a week to run! It’s absolutely perfect and I love that it’s right here in Baltimore!

    My favorite place to walk. Beautiful flowers, turtles and geese. Can't wait for the construction to be over.

    I went to this park twice for a bike ride and have no plans for coming back. Bike lanes are always full with dogs on long leashes and kids without supervision. The road is wide enough to perfectly fit everyone.

  • 5/5 Wadeana S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an awesome and tranquil area to run in. its a little short of 1.5 miles per lap but not by much. Individuals are nice and respectful. Just a nice area to run/walk/ or ride a bike.

    Beautiful community! Join us as we activate the space!

  • 4/5 Chaviator 3 years ago on Google
    Well, it's a close by place for me to go walking or riding bike or skating, however, when the cars have access there, people go to smoke weird stuff in their cars contaminating the little air you have to breath from the lake and trees, and not good at least for my child. Other than that, nice place to go exercise and sit down under a shade!

  • 5/5 Mr. C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lake Montebello is a great place to take a walk or a bike ride. One lap around the lake is 1.38 miles. The lake also has lanes marked for both walkers and riders. Parking at the lake is limited due to construction.
