Confirmed from Retreat Tower Trailhead'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 Retreat Tower Trailhead
“Beautiful hike - so different from the Southwest where we live.”
“Trails are pretty clear and other than being slightly uphill or downhill are an easy hike.”
A great set of easy trails, all clearly marked. There’s a disc golf course as well as some old historic buildings from the Brattleboro Retreat.
Beautiful and relaxing place to hike and get away. So many different trails to explore.
Loved the hike. I just wish there was better signs or markings of the trails. We did alot of back tracking , which was fine because we liked walking in the woods however signs would make it so much better.
Really cool place to visit. Trails are pretty clear and other than being slightly uphill or downhill are an easy hike.
