Confirmed from Chicopee Woods Trail System'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.
Family-friendly destination with miles of trails plus a nature center to explore, along with picnic spots.

$5 entry fee, but the trails are super well maintained and very clearly marked! Absolutely gorgeous, 10/10 would return. There's also a nature center there, and while I got there before it opened, there were some family events posted that might be worth looking into if you have kids
What a beautiful trail. It has amazing Winter views. With nice inclines and easy to moderate trail systems great 8 mile hike!
‼WARNING GUYS⚠️I decide to update my review about this place, because after walking in this park and joining our lunch in a forest (by sitting in wooden bench) all our family got bitten by bugs that calls CHIGGERS, this is something very eaching, all over our bodies, even under clothes, bra,underwear.
The staff here are kind and knowledgeable. The trails are great, well maintained and they offer loads of educational opportunities for kids of all ages! (Including adults! )
