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 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.

★★★★★ — Jm , Jul 2023

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.

★★★★★ — Steve , Feb 2023

My new favorite trail. It is not very long but a few miles round trip. Beautiful!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

  • At the trailheadparking — reported by runners
  • Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
