Confirmed from Neutaconkanut Hill Conservancy'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.

“There’s also a ton of overlooks with a great view of downtown Providence.”

Really nice hiking trails for being smack dab in the middle of a highly populated area. Even got lost at one point, so there is plenty of space. Not too many people on the trails.

★★★★★ — Edward , Sep 2020

Living the city life wishing for hiking trails without having to travel an hour to get to one? We were so pleasantly surprised by the sense of remoteness of the trails. There are many trails, all levels of difficulty, and are well maintained!

★★★★★ — Debbi , Oct 2019

Beautiful place for hiking and even a place where you can bike too! Many trails to go on and enjoy walking your pets as well.

★★★★★ — Kelly , Oct 2022

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.
