Confirmed from Ladd Marsh Nature 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 Ladd Marsh Nature Trail
How nice and well thought out..love the people whom created this place without knowing them! Absolutely the BEST walking/hiking area when you are on the travel and don’t want to waste time to go off miles to find a 30 walk. Safe and nested in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains. Thank U👏🏼
