Confirmed from Hinckley Lake Trail Loop'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.
What runners say about Hinckley Lake Trail Loop
The lake is being drained, but it's still a great hike. Both the multi purpose trail (all paved) and lake loop (mostly unpaved) are perfect 3 mile hikes. Highly recommend.
Great Inner Loop Trial to run, walk, or walk the dogs. Its a little under 3 miles long. Nothing crazy as far as going up and down. About every miles the trail ends into the parking/paved trail part then trails back off into the trees again. I have ran here a few time and take the dogs for a walk.
