Confirmed from Durfee Hill Management 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 Durfee Hill Management Area

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (19 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful lake with many trails. Be careful and take notice when it's hunting season before you go. Lots of water wildlife. Also be careful of ATVs and Trucks even though they are not allowed per RI DEM.
