Confirmed from George B. B. Wright Reservation'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.

🪧 well-marked 2 mentions

“A short, well marked loop trail in the midst of a suburban area; little boardwalks throughout, but be careful of these on damp days.”

A short, but well marked and maintained trail in the neighborhood!! I like it !!

★★★★★ — Sk , Mar 2023

Nice, quiet, mile-long trail tucked in a neighborhood. Minimally traveled, former horticulturalist property - a few varitieties remain making it an interesting little place.

★★★★☆ — Janice , Apr 2019

A nice, quiet trail. I came here with my dog for a short hike. I would give five stars, except the place is crawling with ticks (as of April 2021). After the hike, I had to spend several hours removing 30+ deer ticks from myself and my fluffy collie.

★★★★☆ — Jenny , Apr 2021

A short, well marked loop trail in the midst of a suburban area; little boardwalks throughout, but be careful of these on damp days. An easy walk; I completed the loop and ended up with just under 4000 steps.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
