Confirmed from Sam Nye Hill Lookout'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 Sam Nye Hill Lookout
I have been going to hike at Maple Swamp for many years with my children. This was my first visit since the observation deck was built. It is fantastic! Roomy, with nice view towards Plymouth and Cape Cod Bay. Good work!
Excellent hiking & walking area. So much exploring & wonderful views/sights to take in.
I took one of the bike trails up to the Lookout. It was mostly cloudy so the view was not very clear. There's no name to the first half of the trail, but the second half is Sam Nye's Mountain-Lookout.
Short, moderate hike from the Maple Swamp lot. View it's worth the climb.
