Confirmed from Squibnocket Park'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 Squibnocket Park
This area has a couple of lovely walking paths, both paved and unpaved, along the river. I gave it a 4/5 because almost every time I am here, someone is smoking marijuana, and Brighton (Boston) and Watertown police can't decide who polices the area when you call in violators.
Loved it, simply a piece of heaven on earth! Highly recommended, for a picnic, walk, you name it!

The practical stuff

- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
