Lake Phalen:
Phalen is 3.1 miles around, or 6250 steps. There is a walking path and a cycle path that circle the lake. The path is mostly flat, with a few short but steep hills. The cycle trail is one way, and runs clockwise around the lake.

Lake Como:
The walking trail hugs the lake shore, and is 1.6 miles long – or 3200 steps. There’s grass to the side of the trail for joggers who prefer a softer surface.
The bicycle path is 1.75 miles long, and is almost all flat, with some very gentle hills in a couple of places where it takes a slightly different route to the walking trail. In common with trails around other lakes, the cycle trail is one way. The path runs anti-clockwise around the lake.
