Confirmed from Windsor Lake Loop Trail'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 Windsor Lake Loop Trail
A long easy trail around a beautiful lake. Lots to do nearby if walking, running, hiking, bike riding, skating, dog following ain't your thing. A dog park and art. Birds everywhere. Beautiful background on all sides of the lake so it's a worthwhile loop with a changing view.
Great place for a run. 2 mile trail around. Also amazing view of sunrise.

The practical stuff

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
