Confirmed from Mass Audubon's Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary'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.

My new favorite local hike! This is a pretty easy 1.5 mile hike to the outlook. I was surprised by how amazing the views were from a local spot, I felt like I was up in NH. I will be headed back to try other trails soon!
Wonderful area for hiking and checking out some great flora and fauna. Great trails that are well-marked. Lots of area to explore so I am looking forward to coming back and trying out some of the other loops. Don’t forgot to put on some bug spray because there are lots of flying buzzing insects!
Our family LOVES Moose Hill! We discovered it soon after moving to Canton and now take regular hikes on the miles of trails. The trials themselves are well maintained, taking you through different backdrops of forest, wildflowers, bluffs, and along boardwalks over ponds, it is truly enjoyable and you can easily take…
Moose Trail is a very serene hiking trail. The paths are wide and clear of debris. There is a very beautiful cliffside view at the top. It is a gradual incline going in and then the opposite gradually declining on the way out. I would recommend good footwear.
