Confirmed from Lowell Preserve Trailhead'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.

Nice trail system that is pretty and well marked with a pond and some streams. It's beautiful in the winter but I would also like to go back in warmer weather. I'm not sure of the official number but there are probably about 5 miles of trails. There is plenty of parking at the firehouse which is an added bonus too.

Really well marked trails. No streams in the summer. Not an easy hike for everyone. Lots and lots of roots and rocks. The Little Duck Pond views are nice after the leaves fall. Plenty of parking at the fire station and baseball field.

★★★★☆ — Craig , Jun 2024

Great place for some outdoor time! Easy parking and miles of good trails.

★★★★★ — Justin , May 2024

I’ve only been on a few of the trails, but it’s a great resource. So nice to be able to get out into the woods on well marked trails.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
