Confirmed from Hidden Pond Trail Songbird Management 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.
What runners say about Hidden Pond Trail Songbird Management Area
“Beautiful day, beautiful memories, beautiful woman💚”
“When there arent bunchbof people around its very peaceful.”
Great little walking trails. If you take the first right over the bridge,it's a little longer and harder than the other way. Both ways lead over the spillway. If you walk the entire length from one parking lot across the spillway to the other,it's about five miles there and back...
A very nice, quaint hiking area at the base of the powerful water flow of the Carter's lake dam. A real gem of a location with a little bit of everything for everybody, including huge fish.
Nicely-maintained trail in/near woods, just below a dam. Lots of undergrowth with a steam running through it made for good bird habitat.
We like this and will definitely be back. The trail is OK but not the best maintained. There are some nice boardwalk bridges.
Trail conditions & character
