We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Quabbin Reservoir yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

So many trails. Even for beginners lots of flat trails. Amazing views. Hanks Meadow one of my favorite.
It was cold and clear. Walked around the goodnough dike trail. We heard the ice singing.
Hanks meadow, beautiful spot for an easy walk down to the water. Amazing views 💜🙏💜🌺
