Confirmed from Mawignack Preserve'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 Mawignack Preserve
“This trail is beautiful, waterfall less than 5 minutes after starting.”
“The trail is very clearly marked and taken care of.”
“If you're looking for a peaceful, mostly level trail, this one is excellent.”
Love this place. The trails are well marked and maintained. It's a pretty easy hike with woods, fields, and a nice stream. Beautiful and peaceful.
Great morning "hike" with a cup of coffee. This summer I've been stopping by for a quick walk after dropping my daughter off for camp. It's a 30 min loop, mostly flat with good variety. Perfect way to start your day.
Well this bat concerned me. And this large wasp all i could think was murder hornet :). And did they add hills? Whew i need to exercise more
Excellent loop trail to bring a furry friend along. There are some slopes but mostly flat. The ground is either dirt or grass. The signage is clear, and there are placards along the way to let you learn more about the history of the preserve. Parking is quite limited, and you might find random animal droppings.
