Confirmed from Pike Marshall Preserve'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 Pike Marshall Preserve
Perfect A to A trail about a mile long. Parking is on the side of the road but Google Maps puts you right where you're supposed to be. I went in late November so there were a lot of leaves, but the trail was not hard to follow with the blazes.
less than a mile long, one stream (maybe not year round ..my visit was May) crossing, rocky/rooty footing at parts, very shaded, undulating trail ...i like it
Nice lil New England trail with winding and knotty with random rocks throughout. Maybe a mile in length. Limited parking on shoulder of street.
Plan your run at Pike Marshall Preserve
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
