Confirmed from Center Trail Hopkinton'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 Center Trail Hopkinton
“Beautiful trail through a quiet neighborhood then around the perimeter of the schools.”
Very well-maintained, flat, wide path that connects the schools to the main street side of town. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to walk each way.
Wide, flat stone dust trail, 1K long. Beautiful woods and streams along the way. Informational signs about the old railroad. Currently hosting an art on the trail exhibit.
Shaded , east walk. You have different trail options off the main path as well. It will be a new spot for my family to use
Lovely walk, safe, comfortable, flat, easy for the knees. Mostly family's, good for dog walking. Good Exercise, Beautiful Forest, with a stream along side of the walking path. Thank You Mike for all your Loving Care on the path.
