Confirmed from Four Ponds 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.
Park with marked trails leading through pine and deciduous forest, past ponds, and benches.
What runners say about Four Ponds Conservation Area
“Beautiful trails an scenery with multiple trails good for all levels of trail blazers.”
“Trails are well marked do need some cleaning up after winter but such a pleasant walk.”
“In the neighborhood and would like a quiet walk with your furry friend or with friends.”
Wonderful place for a nice 2 to 3 mile walk. Foliage is beautiful although just starting I hope to get back before it’s gone
Was one of the people who replaced the old sign, man was it a bug-ger 😉to replace the sign. And my school made the new one. Although it would’ve looked better if we painted some of it. (About the Trail): Awesome amazing trail! Perfect for a date and a hike!
Peaceful and quiet hiking trails with lots of wildlife and biodiversity. Wetlands and ponds are the main attractions. Four Ponds connects to the Town Forest, however, the trail system may be confusing to those who are unfamiliar with the area.
Beautiful area with miles of trails! You could literally hike all day!
