Confirmed from Noon Hill Reservation'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.
Local 20-minute or hour-long hike with steep parts, along with a pond, forest and views of Gillette Stadium.

Looks beautiful, nice wide trail, only saw the beginning but I will be back. Nice flowy downhill ride on a MTB.
Went for a short hike at the end of February on an unseasonably warm day. Trails were beautifully maintained and clear. Stuck mostly to the orange loop that circles a small pond. Easy walk but one or two steep spots that may be harder for those with more limited mobility. Great for a toddler.
Noon Hill is great little hidden gem of a trail system. The loops available are short for riding but they are a blast. A great mix of flow with good technical points along the route. I enjoy the elevation gains and loses here with good climbs and fun amount descending.
Great place to bike. Majority of the route is moderate to easy, but it can get pretty hard on some sections.
