Confirmed from Rockland Town Forest and Conservation Land'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.
Wooded paths with stone features and bridges, plus eagle scout-created decorations.

“Thankfully we lucked out with no dogs being walked at the times we went lol but this is such a peaceful and serene hidden Gem here in Rockland!”
It was so much fun to see little decorations on the trails. So happy to find this place. Thank you so much for maintaining the quality.
Gorgeous trails with rock walls and streams. Positive messages posted along the way. This walk felt magical ☺
This is clearly one of Rocklands best kept secrets. The stone work and dedication to maintaining this trail system is top notch. From Rockland town forest you cross the road into Union Point.
We absolutely love taking a stroll in this magical little forest! My daughter and I left some painted rocks to add to the esthetic of what others have left their..and we also have brought out cat 🐈 Leo for a walk their a couple of times and he absolutely loved it!
