We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Cider Knoll Trail 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 Cider Knoll Trail
“Beautiful trail, though a little bit easy to go off trail in a few places.”
This is a beautiful wooded trail in Marlborough, MA. Easy walking and a quiet place to hear the birds and get back to nature in the city. Lovely pond with a bench to sit on and enjoy the view of the pond. Pond is filled with wildlife. I saw many birds and dragonflies. I thank the people who donated this wonderful area.
There are many more trails in this area than are on the map at the trail head. Gorgeous area with very well maintained trails. Eagle Scout projects created many beautiful board walks and bridges.
Beautiful trail, though a little bit easy to go off trail in a few places.
