Confirmed from Cranberry Pond Conservation Land'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 Cranberry Pond Conservation Land
What a great place. It has everything all packed into it... All of the trails are fairly straight forward.. the blue trail is a bit spicy... I'd definitely say more of a moderate trail.. lots of steeps but nothing unmanageable.. go here.
Beautiful place to walk. It is a part of a state designated area of critical environmental concern
Great 3 mile loop if you follow the red trail to the blue trail. Well marked and nice views of the pond. Note if you park at the small lot by the red trailhead and follow the blue trail back you will have to cut through some neighborhood streets
Great park for walking and a little bit of hiking. Limited parking near the entrance.
