Confirmed from Beaver Pond'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 Pond
Great park for walking! Has a paved path all the way around a mile long loop with lots of benches for resting and taking in the scenery and two parking ares on opposite sides of the park. Also fun spot to fish!
Good Park, the path is almost exactly a mile around, so it's very good for running, walking, or biking and keeping track without having to use apps or watches to track your steps!
Nice public park, with a walking trail, around a lage pond. Very relaxing walking trail, about 1 mile around. There are picnic tables, in different sections, of the walk. And a covered pier, with seating, on the pond. There is limited parking. Plenty of wildlife around the pond also. Very nice.
Coming down Braintree Lane I noticed about 6 parking spots. there's a nice path and a picnic table. And there were some kids fishing while I was there.
