Confirmed from Trippe Lake Park'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.

Fishing, sledding, picnicking, and walking are among the activities at this public park featuring a playground.

“The area appeared to be well-kept as well.”

Its a neat little park to walk around, small playground for the kids, You can fish but theres alot of weeds/Lily pads by the shore.

★★★★☆ — Dadof2Many , Sep 2025

This park has nice shade and a decent breeze. It's almost like a private park because a lot of people don't even know about it.

★★★★★ — Jim , Jul 2022

Trippe Lake Park is a really nice place to visit. There are nice walking trails, pavilions, and playground equipment. The lakeside is lovely and offers plenty of areas to pause. I went on a Tuesday, and I was the only visitor besides the cross country runners zipping through. The area appeared to be well-kept as well.

★★★★★ — Jessica , Nov 2019

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
