Confirmed from Freedom Trail'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 Freedom Trail
This is place is very good for nature walking and dog walking. Fresh air and birds sounds. Resting chairs in track for elders.
Nice walk. Approximately 1.5 miles from ridge road to stouts. Paved the whole way.
