Confirmed from Millstone River 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 Millstone River Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Really nice little preserve, love the trails, runs along the millstone River and there are some lush green meadow, if u look for them,, planning to canoe down river, there are access by the bridge. Definitely worth a look! And just down the street from Rodgers preserve and plainsboro preserve!
