Confirmed from Negutaquet Conservation Area'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.
Kid-friendly area offering marked hiking trails via rocky, wooded terrain.

Excellent trail! Well maintained with a few really neat landmarks. Getting to visit the grave of a Revolutionary War Veteran and take an absolutely picturesque hike with the kids was definitely one of our favorite highlights from our trip to ME. Highly recommend!
this is one of our favorite local trail networks, wending through field and woods, over bridges, past a little pond and revolutionary war-era cemetery. the perimeter trail is a nicely maintained, well-marked loop just over a mile and a half, with rocks and roots, a few ups and downs but mostly flat.
Beautiful local trail with a little bit of everything to offer. The outer loop hugs close to the boundary most of the way, with a rolling hills of hay farms to the north and the Negutaquet River at the southern side.
These trails are a treasure; very well maintained and labeled. Parking lot has been redone and is now even more accessible and user friendly. New signage and information about the history of the river and land is lovely.
