Confirmed from Mattabesset Multi-Use Trail (Bike Path)'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 Mattabesset Multi-Use Trail (Bike Path)
“Very clean, easy access, only negative was a map behind Plexi that you couldn't see because of condensation.”
Awesome path! I recommend parking at the trail head on Tuttle Pl near Anderson Windows... instead of here (Moss Glen)
I wish the broken fences can be replaced. Occassionally you encounter graffiti or kids on motorbikes, which are not allowed on the trail. Otherwise, it's a great place for a stroll or bike ride.
This is a clean and relatively well kept trail. Lots of runners and bikes so be sure to be respectful and aware if walking.
Awesome place. Full stretch of this trail is 1.75 miles one way. Stroller friendly.

“I’m saying not in the sense of “stay away if you don’t live here”, but because as others have said, there isn’t designated parking.”
