Confirmed from Babe Mann Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“It's quiet, private, and usually not crowded.”

Great place to walk around the lake. Not to long but not short. OK fishing but you need to get far out.

★★★★☆ — Chris , Jan 2017

Very peaceful place. Nice Picnic tables and clean bathrooms. Definitely my go to quiet place! Has a nice walking trail with benches around water.

★★★★★ — Heidi , Aug 2025

A gem, hidden just of Rte 43 with a nice walking path around the water, a gazebo with generous space and plenty of parking.

★★★★★ — J , Apr 2025

Great park. There are 2 soccer fields and a small clean lake with a walking/running path where many folks walk their dogs. The rest rooms are clean and have running water. The lake is quite deep and is a popular fishing hole Swimming is prohibited for humans.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
