Confirmed from Land of Providence'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 Land of Providence
“A beautiful high terrace floodplain forest along the Connecticut River in Holyoke.”
A beautiful high terrace floodplain forest along the Connecticut River in Holyoke. Mowed trails lead to gardens, river overlooks, benches, and shade tents with picnic tables. Information signs and kiosk. Nice place to see wildflowers and cliff side views of the river. It’s managed by The Trustees out of Florence.
