Confirmed from Silvio O. Conte Accessible Nature 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.

I love this trail! I used hike before i was disabled in 2017. This trail has me hiking again! Its an easy and short trail, but it gets me out in the wilderness and I love that.
