Confirmed from Albert W. Doolittle Conservation Area'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 Albert W. Doolittle Conservation Area
“The place is clean and well maintained.”
Hidden gem ...glad I was able to find this cute spot to bring my pal, Bogey for a walk. The place is clean and well maintained. Lots of tiny deer ticks unfortunately but I'm sure it's a result of a warm day after several chilly days. They all came out to visit.
A little tough to find because the trailhead is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. If you GPS to the address, you want to look for a brown bulletin board between two houses marking the trail. The trail itself is relatively short, but a nice alternative to the rail trail if you value serenity.
