Confirmed from Otis Smith Farm and Rowbottom Preserve - Cumberland Land Trust'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 Otis Smith Farm and Rowbottom Preserve - Cumberland Land Trust

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful place to hike. Wonderful sights and definitely a place to bring your dog. Parking is sparse but free. Kind of secluded, I would not have known it existed if I hadn’t decided to walk just a bit further past Ashton Elementary, just to see what was there.
