Confirmed from Bird Street 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.

It's a beautiful area! The more scenic and pleasant parts are deeper in. Unfortunately the land is fair game for hunting so stick to the path. Wonderful views for a local hike!

★★★★★ — Jimmy , Feb 2021

Great place to go for a hike. Enough trails to keep you busy for 3 hours or so.

★★★★★ — Bmf , May 2020

Stoughton's gem! Miles of trails. Always a new trail to find and explore. I have no idea what these puff balls are. They are actually really solid. We also caught the attention of an Eastern Towhee.

★★★★★ — Heidi , May 2021

Lots of well marked trails with interesting sites to see. Every train is a loop so you have to try hard to get lost which is good for people like me who always get lost.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
