Confirmed from Coggshall Park Mirror Lake'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.

“One if the most iconic parks in all of Massachusetts it's beautiful all year round.”

One if the most iconic parks in all of Massachusetts it's beautiful all year round. It had some trails surrounding it and a nice way trail around the pond. I've been coming here since I was a kid. It's pet friendly and kid friendly. It can be busy during the summer so plan accordingly.

★★★★★ — Conrad , Sep 2024

I went on a very nice walk the other day it lasted over four hour's and almost nine miles so great to be able to enjoy the wonderful trails this city has to offer and I even found some power lines that seem to go as far as the eye can see very highly recommend place to adventure

★★★★★ — Mark , May 2021

I love this place. I take everyone there who needs to just relax and enjoy nature. There is a great playground for the little ones to chill or run out their energy.

★★★★☆ — Jamie , Apr 2019

A beautiful park with a pond. A trail goes around he pond. Ample benches to relax or enjoy the nature. Good place to spend some time.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
