Confirmed from Braintree Town Forest'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 Braintree Town Forest
“Situated in beautiful residential area that is safe for the students and walkers.”
Cool little set of trails here in Braintree Forrest. I did a short hike in the rain but can't wait to go back to explore a lot more. Love the moss covered trails and all the natural rock formations along the trail and surrounding environment.
Beautiful place to walk outdoors. The forest had no bugs. Great for camping and outdoors.
Situated in beautiful residential area that is safe for the students and walkers. The school staff members and the principal are amazing with their outstanding curriculum for each grades. Much pleasure to have my child graduated from highlands.
Lots of good trails; you can cross Liberty St. into Cranberry Brook trails and Holbrook town forest.
