Confirmed from Old Sandwich Game Farm Wildlife Management Area'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.

This is a great place to go for a walk, 5ake the dog or cat whatever, a great place to go n clear your head. There are plenty of trails if you don't want to be around people, all in all though people are usually really friendly down there, just happy to be outside in such a beautiful place.

★★★★★ — Brent , Sep 2020

No matter what the season a beautiful spot. If you're a dog lover or just want to learn of the many ecosystems that surround the Cape this has it all. Although not a must hiking boots come in handy especially after a lot of rain.

★★★★☆ — Kelly , May 2017

My dog and my favorite place to go! Lots of variety. Open fields, woodland trails, water views, fresh water pond, tidal marsh, old growth pine trees, blueberry bushes. Multiple trails for lots of variety. I love the large open area where dogs meet to play.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
