Confirmed from Robin Hood Park'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Note: It will be beautiful to be there at the time just before the sun set.”

Best place to hike in the greater Keene inside area. The Amphitheatre is a great place for Frisbee and live music

★★★★★ — Michael , Nov 2024

We used to walk here a lot, back when we lived in Keene. Still a wonderful place to walk, or skate in the winter.

★★★★★ — Ralph , Sep 2024

Loved the loop trail. If you take the trail counter clockwise you will eventually see a chained off section and some homes. I was lucky enough to see a resident and "get permission," however, it was part of the trail. This is my only negative on the park trail.

★★★★☆ — Mike , May 2022

Nice place, actually. It has a playground, a fishing spot, lots of trails that are kid-friendly. You can picnic here and reserve spots for get-togethers. I did a wedding shower here. It also has a public swimming pool area.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
