Confirmed from Donnabeth Lippman 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (202 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Great trails, playground and the pond is a beautiful setting!”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“Was a great spot to take my dog to walk and get some nature in as well.”

This is a nice park where you can have a bit of everything. Follow the navigator because I feel like it’s easy to miss hidden right behind a busy area. You drive in on a black road for a very short time. The playground is great and we loved playing and exploring it. There are some tables and places to grill.

We are new to Windham and went here early on a Sunday morning to stretch our legs and let the dog off leash! It was absolutely quiet and we had the trail to ourselves! I suspect that won’t be the case in a month or so! We LOVED this trail and will visit often.

★★★★★ — Meredyth , Apr 2019

Great place for the whole family. There's a nice little play area for smaller children. great walking path around a large lake. This is especially good if you have a canine companion. I've taken my dogs several times and while we have seen other people with dogs everyone is very respectful and I've had no issues.

★★★★☆ — Katie , Jul 2020

Nice open park with plenty of picnic tables and good sized playground. Playground new and in great shape. No sharp edges or loose pieces. Has two walking trails for short or long trip. Is dog friendly. Has great easy access to the pond. Plenty of parking space. Part of the picnic area is covered. Has portable toilet.

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.
