Confirmed from Willingboro Lakes County 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.
Well-maintained park featuring playgrounds and paved trails plus wooded trails for dog-friendly strolls.

A surprisingly great hike and simple, natural playground. We had a great time exploring the trail around the main lake and got to see a turtle, birds, ducks and some beautiful views! I highly recommend this park for a family hike!
I knew this park was opened quite some time ago but thought it’s too small to check it out, until this morning when a friend said she was going for a hike there and then I gave it a try. Turned out that’s a very well marked, beautiful lake park with trails around the big lake and in between lakes.
I visited this park over the summer and wanted to share my thoughts. Unfortunately, my previous review did not go through, but I am hopeful that this one will. I must say, it is a great park - very clean and well-maintained.
Beautiful park. Pavilions and grills for small gatherings. Great walking trails with scenic views of nature and the lakes. Fishing allowed from docks. Clean rest rooms.
