Confirmed from Noon Hill Reservation Trail Head'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.
Nature preserve featuring trails with scenic views, a pond, and a running creek.

We hiked to the top of noon hill starting the trail from the pond. Took around 3 hours for the return. The trail is not difficult but it was icy. And you have to watch your foot. It's a dog friendly trail and I saw many people with their dogs.
Great 👍🏻 place to come walk and enjoy mother nature. So many trails to choose from.
This reservation has some great trails for biking, hiking, and running. The trails are well marked and maintained. There is a nice view at the top of the red loop and some great paths along yellow and light blue trails. A couple of steep inclines, but overall, a moderate walk that can take 1 to 2 hours.
Great little uphill hike to the noon Hill viewpoint, and then just beyond that to the noon Hill summit. Definitely recommend bringing a pair of binoculars, some water and some very good hiking shoes.
