Confirmed from Roosevelt Farm Lane Trail'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, 2-mile trail through forests and across hills, with benches.
What runners say about Roosevelt Farm Lane Trail
“I would consider this an easy walk.”
Awesome place to come for a walk and get away. Quite, easy hike. Walked there and biked there too. Enjoyed both.
Great little system of trails. Great for walking, trail running, snowshoeing or even mountain biking. Park in the lots off Route 9 or 9G.
This is a great trail. It's mostly paved or gravel and wide enough for a group of four to walk together easily. The trail itself is easy with sloping hills and soft turns but plenty long enough to give you a decent work out. My group walked it from Route 9 to 9G and back in about two hours.
I have been here a few times in different seasons and it’s always lovely. I was in town while my husband was at a weekend school and needed to walk my dog - but was on crutches! I remembered that it was a paved path and thought I’d take a chance and it worked out perfectly.
