Confirmed from The Windham Path'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.
Flat, family-friendly trail featuring a covered bridge, streams and lovely views.
What runners say about The Windham Path
“The Windham Path is a beautiful outdoor trail with stunning scenery and a peaceful atmosphere.”
“The path is good for all ages and we finished the loop of around 2 miles in about 2 hours.”
So beautiful you can propose to your lover here! Picturesque scenery throughout. I suggest you study the walking distances first. It can get distorted on the path trail. Parking was easy but there are other parking sites on other sides of trails. No bathrooms.
Very easy trail. Very flat, it’s gravel but easy to walk. Not a lot of shade so be prepared for sun! It’s a cute path; I’m from out of town and this is near my Airbnb so it was a nice thing to do for an hour.
For autumn scenery, it is a 5-star place if you come here at good timing. In my case, I was here on Oct-12-2019 for Windham Autumn Affair event. After the event, we stopped by this place for picnic. The path is good for all ages and we finished the loop of around 2 miles in about 2 hours.
This is a lovely 1.5 easy walk, good for kids. My boys(4 and 8) only started to whine at the very end. Incredible views of forest, mountains, streams, with several bridges, including one amazing covered bridge. Everyone we met was very friendly and greeted us.
