Confirmed from Moosup Valley State Park 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 Moosup Valley State Park Trail
“If you need an easier way to walk through the woods with no roots or rocks to trip on or are pushing/pulling children, this is a beautiful way to take a walk.”
An old train track turned into a lovely biking and hiking trail. If you need an easier way to walk through the woods with no roots or rocks to trip on or are pushing/pulling children, this is a beautiful way to take a walk. With the exception of well marked street crossings, there are no motor vehicles allowed.
Didn't like where to park at Dunkin, but the trail was beautiful. I even saw wild turkeys on my run!
Hiked to the waterfall and back; about 2 miles easy hike on mostly paved roads.
This trail is really fun taking you all the way to Cranston RI. Cutting through towns and beautiful scenery. Recommend a bike, first aid, snacks, lots of water, and a compass or phone with portable charger. Smooth easy flat surfaces Make it easy to moderate Walk depending on how long you plan on walking.
