Confirmed from Piney Hollow Preservation'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 Piney Hollow Preservation
“No one was around it's very peaceful and beautiful.”
A great place. We parked on piney hollow road. And took the trails back in and hiked all over the place. No one was around it's very peaceful and beautiful. Most of the trails are in good shape. Some of them have some water to get around but it's easy to do. There are over 10 geocaches in the preserve.
Was great to get out for a walk in the woods with my son and 5 year-old grandaughter, somewhere safe we could spend time together during the pandemic. She was thrilled with the ice on the water and the "adorable" pine cones. We hiked all the way up to Dike #3, and she loved the little "waterfall".
I love hiking here with my bff and our dogs. So many great spots to see and get some cool pics. I think so far, this is my favorite place.
Great trails around old cranberry bogs lined with atlantic white cedars. Great for birding, egrets, herons,ducks, geese and beaver lodges in ponds. Many pine lands frogs calling in the spring. Beautiful mountain laurel blooming in May.
