Confirmed from Old Boston Preserve GWRLT'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 Old Boston Preserve GWRLT
“Really nice walk for all abilities.”
I really enjoyed this short hike through the woods accentuated by an interesting assortment of foundation rocks at the family farmstead, along with the nearby family cemetery. This trail was new so had hardly any mud but was uneven and had roots and tripping hazzards in some spots.
Short, looping trail through the woods. There is an old family cemetery in the middle of the trail with a path leading to it, as well as rock walls from an old farmstead that once stood in this area. Dirt parking lot on North Village Road.
Nice short loop trail. 2 trails actually make up one loop. Rather damp after a rain storm still a beautiful forest walk. Some of it is rocky and stumps. Strange diseased low bush blueberry and trees looks like some kind of blight or fungus. Lots of mushrooms its a fungal forest.
Really nice walk for all abilities. Mostly flat. Great for dogs! We did a loop but a friend was guiding us who had done it before.
