We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Farrington Lake Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

What runners say about Farrington Lake Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (9 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice short trail. Northern trail head is just south of where Ireland Brook enters Farrington Lake and the southern trail head is near the point where Riva Avenue turns west and crosses Lawrence Brook, just north of Davidson's Mill Pond.

★★★★☆ — Bogdan , Oct 2021

Good trail for a single hiker or pair, especially older (7-8year old) kid. Be careful if you are bringing a younger kid or puppy in training as the trail has board paths.

★★★★☆ — John , Aug 2025
