We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Cedar Mountain yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Cedar Mountain

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I've been to this place but it is located in Newington Connecticut I know the map says Hartford but the one I went to is Newington Connecticut on mountain road it's an awesome place it's a short little loop trail hike and it takes you to the top where you could overlook a nice view.

★★★★★ — Joan , Aug 2022

Hidden gem. Many of the trails are not well marked, but it's easy enough to find your way. You can either Park behind humane society on Russell or off of mountain
