Confirmed from Haseltine 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 Haseltine Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (20 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

✨ well-maintained 3 mentions

“Well maintained with very nice variety of features for mountain bikers of all levels.”

🪧 well-marked 3 mentions

“This was a well marked trail system contained in a section of woods.”

This was a well marked trail system contained in a section of woods. The trails were easy to follow and are interconnected which allows you to change up how you explore the area. There were several small wooden foot bridges that allowed you to cross the brook, streams, and seasonal muddy areas.

★★★★★ — Ryan , Dec 2023

No orcs, goblins, or trolls or sighted during our hike. All trails are very well marked. Great place to hike and or mountain bike

★★★★★ — Paul , Apr 2021

Great trails with a lot of bang for a small area. Great to hike, bike, and snowshoe. Well maintained with very nice variety of features for mountain bikers of all levels.

★★★★★ — Thomas , Feb 2024

Winding trails mainly though forested areas and crossing several bridges. Some recent timber work is a bit of a bummer even though in a few years this opened area will provide great habitat.

★★★★☆ — R , Dec 2019

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.

The practical stuff

AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
