We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ravenswood Trail 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.

What runners say about Ravenswood Trail

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.

The trail leads to Brainerd Rd. which is south of Fair Haven bridge.It crosses over 2 tributaries and leads to a Niantic Nature Conservation on the Brainerd Rd side. I think it would make an ideal safe alternative road outside of Giants Neck Heights Association( GNHA).
