Confirmed from Crowell Conservation Area'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 Crowell Conservation Area

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (14 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

As a local dog walker I brought a pair of pups here for a private one hour hike. It’s really nice, there’s some swampy areas just off the path but otherwise it’s a decent time.

★★★★☆ — Due , Nov 2023

Pleasant spot for a short walk. Can link up with North Hill Marsh for much longer hikes or mountain bike rides.

★★★★☆ — John , Dec 2020

Multiple paths. Easy walking. Tons of lilly pads, frogs, red winged blackbirds and cat birds. Dog friendly.

★★★★★ — Benjamin , May 2022
