Confirmed from Spalding Park - Hollis Town Forest'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 Spalding Park - Hollis Town Forest
Saw a wealthy person running around manicly with a frying pan here, can someone tell me what's going on??
Love this place. Take my dogs here often. A week ago I lost a pair of pink Maui Jim sunglasses. They dropped out of my shirt when I was holding my dogs away from an off-leash dog that ran up to us.
This is a nice place to hike, with some hills, and a variety of trails. Maps are posted in places and are helpful, but you may still need your phone location to help find your way out in a timely manner (as I did).
Wide variety of trails through dense forrest. Multiple ponds and streams along many of the routes. Wild blueberries are present in July and abundant foliage color in the Fall.
