Confirmed from Beaver Brook State 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.
What runners say about Beaver Brook State Park
“But after a bit of that, it opens up to a gorgeous forest with a carpet of lowbush blueberries and huckleberry.”
Nice forest if you don't walking through some hellish terrain to get there; swamps, knee deep mud, ankle breaking stones hidden under meter high ferns. But after a bit of that, it opens up to a gorgeous forest with a carpet of lowbush blueberries and huckleberry.
