Confirmed from Muldoon Park'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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“You can launch a canoe or kayak from here or just sit by the water and enjoy the peace and quiet.”

It is a park in Lowell located on the Merrimack River. You can launch a canoe or kayak from here or just sit by the water and enjoy the peace and quiet. There is a small walking trail with a gazebo you can also sit at.

★★★★★ — Kathy , Sep 2018

Great place to just chill out, soak in some Urban nature, and breathe a little bit. You can definitely launch kayaks or even small boats. Some decent fishing if you're creative. Across the street is the main entrance to the Concord River Greenway. Awesome place to walk or ride bikes.

★★★★★ — Chris , Aug 2025

Nice little park. Good parking lot. Very clean with some benches and a nice water view. I just wish it was a little bigger. There is a tiny little path where you can walk, but you can cross the whole park in a few minutes so it’s not much of a walking spot.

★★★★☆ — Mike , Apr 2022

A quiet place with benches and a nice view of the water. Perfect to watch the sunset. A really sweet gazebo for pictures. A little path for kids to bike ride!

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.
