Confirmed from Sippo Lake Park-East'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.
Park on a lake, offering boating, fishing & hiking, plus a library & nature/culture center.
What runners say about Sippo Lake Park-East
“There are lots of different walking paths and beautiful views everywhere you look.”
“Dog friendly, it has bike trails, you can rent a bike, canoe, kayak or paddle boat.”
This is an absolutely beautiful location! It is dog friendly. Beautiful water and the pier is long! It's an excellent place with a lot of trails to lead you to playgrounds etc. There's bathrooms and doggie pick up stations. It's so mesmerizing that you have to watch to make sure your dog doesn't jump in the water :-)
Such a beautiful location! There is a handicapped accessible path to the docks. The sunsets at the lake are amazing.
Wonderful as always. Guest areas are always well taken care of and free of debris. There is a nice gazebo where you can look out on sippo and see all the fish in the algae. There's paths to explore the forest and so much to do. Even has bathrooms and water fountains! Good way to teach kids about nature
Lovely nature trail, wildlife and bird viewing vistas. Sippo Lake is beautiful any time of year.
