Confirmed from Mattabasett Trail and lone pine 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 Mattabasett Trail and lone pine trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

There is a parking lot for this area and then you would head out onto the trail I was out here over 4 hours and did the big nine point five mile Loop which is an amazing hike with a great view of the heart-shaped Lake.
