Confirmed from Mill Pond Conservation Area'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 Mill Pond Conservation Area
“Beautiful little trail to a flowing river with rocks to sit on under the trees.”
The walk is approx a half mile in total but it's a nice and relaxing area. The trail brings you to breached dam from I'd say approx a century ago. There's even a bench at the dam in the event that one wants too stay and continue enjoying the sound of the creek.
Must visit if in the area.... there's a river that runs down it's so beautiful.....peaceful...
Beautiful little trail to a flowing river with rocks to sit on under the trees.
Pretty nice trail but seems to attract more people drinking and smoking than other local trails judging by the level of broken glass and blunt wrappers.
