We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of John Largay Preserve, Middlebury Land Trust yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 John Largay Preserve, Middlebury Land Trust
“There is a wide, easy 1 mile trail that circles the scenic lake, along with connection with the Middlebury Greenway for longer walks.”
Beautiful place to hike around the lake! Great outdoors/nature experience. No cost but not much parking area unless you park in Long Meadow Park.
Great place to fish!! Bring alot of worms! Went thru over 200 worms in 3 hours and only caught 3 fish. Watched a black bear go for a swim. It's over grown on the trail but still beautiful
Great place to walk your dog. There is a wide, easy 1 mile trail that circles the scenic lake, along with connection with the Middlebury Greenway for longer walks. Very nice.
