Confirmed from New Milford Woods - Nature 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.

What runners say about New Milford Woods - Nature Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (12 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I needed to get out more and just love walking/hiking. Discovered the trail and today 2/10, was so beautiful went with my trekking sticks for a stroll. Excellent. Trails marked with mulch and fallen timbers for outlines. Just wish it was a little longer.
