We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Northern Strand Community Path yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

★★★★★ — Phillip , Sep 2023

The wife and I have been walking this trail for about a year. Very enjoyable walk for us. We took our longest journey yet. From Lincoln Ave Saugus to Squire rd Revere. About 5 miles each way. A little sore, but Well worth the journey .
