Confirmed from Kittery Town Forest'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 Kittery Town Forest
“The trails were well maintained and extremely well marked with signs and maps posted along the way.”
“It's a great spot to bring your dog for a nice little walk through the woods.”
Stopped here to break up the drive from Maine to Pennsylvania, we weren't expecting such a nice trail system. The trails were well maintained and extremely well marked with signs and maps posted along the way. The terrain was a little hilly, but not in a bad way.
Well marked trails. Nicely maintained paths. It's a great spot to bring your dog for a nice little walk through the woods. We have added it to our rotation of nature walks in the area.
