Confirmed from Lake Abram Metropolitan Reservation'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.
Serene hiking trail in the woods winding along a lake, plus a kids' playground.

Go off the beaten trails... take a walk thru the woods & just look around. You will feel better. Mother Nature.. and like this place.. is just full of Awesomeness !!! Put down that phone, grab the kids if ya got any and go to the woods. Don't forget a good camera to capture it all....
Lake Abram offers an easy walking path and is well maintained. There is also a small play area for young children. The boardwalk over the marsh is an excellent stop for watching the sunset.
I walked the Lake to Lake Trail. Beautiful nature preserve and well kept grounds. No running water, bring plenty, trail is long. Outhouse style bathrooms at each end of trail
One of my favorite trails in the area. Between the woods and marshes, there's views for days. Be sure to catch a sunrise or sunset here, you won't regret it.
