Confirmed from Mud Brook Greenway 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.

“The trail is a bit less than a mile long (one way), connecting Bath Rd up to Pleasant Meadow Blvd, with many beautiful sites along the way.”
“This is a hidden gem, and I recommend it to anyone, especially those who enjoy peaceful walk in nature.”
“The parking lot is small & there aren't restrooms but it's a nice even, easy walking trail.”
The Mud Brook Greenway Trail quietly opened earlier this month and I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered it. I noticed a new parking lot along E. Bath Rd. and dropped in to check it out.
Great new trail that is about a mile one way, ending at a road with apartments & townhouses on it. The parking lot is small & there aren't restrooms but it's a nice even, easy walking trail. It's very scenic & relatively quiet which is refreshing.
A new but short trail winding through the swamps. Took turbo for a walk and it was a great distance for him,not too short but not miles long. Nice little hike with some active wildlife and friendly people we met on the trail. The east steels corner parking lot is gravel be advised.
My new favorite trail. It is not very long but a few miles round trip. Beautiful!
