Confirmed from Hipp Brook Preserve'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 Hipp Brook Preserve
It's a small walk in the back of a neighborhood, but lovely preserve. Benches to sit on are spread out to enjoy a bit of peace.
A wonderful place for a quick hike with your family and dogs. We often see deer,fox,snakes and many other random animals.
Lovely little solo walk on the loop even on this snowy St Patrick's Day! Grateful for the boardwalks that keep the path smooth and not muddy. There is a short part of the path that is not covered and will probably be muddy soon, but it was fine on this day when it was below freezing.
