Confirmed from Dunhamtown Forest and Dunham Woods Preserve'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.

Great hike, wonderful historic location. Maybe have some signage by each site, denoting its history? Bring big spray and comfortable shoes or hiking boots. Plenty of water too!
Excellent cross country ski day, 3+ miles of beautiful Connecticut winter woods!
