Confirmed from Folsom 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.
Nature preserve offering kid-friendly hiking trails that are bounded on all sides.
What runners say about Folsom Conservation Area
“Beautiful trail saw some really nice birds”
“The Folsom Conservation Area is a quiet set of trails tucked behind some homes and the Rockingham Rail Trail.”
It was an all out hiking mission today starting with this area. I used it to access the rockingham recreational trail.
Great walking park! There is plenty of parking. On the map, the circle is designed for cars to park on the shoulder. There are a couple of paths that you can take. The path that continues straight from the road is the quickest path towards the Rockingham Recreational Trail.
Lots of small trails to explore. Easy access from the Rockingham Rail Trail.
Been coming here for about 20+ years. It's easy and quick out and back. New trails have been added to make It a little more fun. I remember when it was relatively new.
