Confirmed from Steere Hill Glocester Land Trust Trailhead'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.
Kid-friendly hiking area with easy, family-friendly trails.

“Easy family friendly hikes with nice off trail rock climbing and plenty of stuff to look at.”
Wonderful place for a hike, especially if you’re looking for some quiet, solitary bliss. I’ve been here a few times and I’ve only seen a handful of other people on the trails. It helps that there are so many different trails in this system. There are close to 10 miles of trails here, maybe more.
Seven miles of beautiful woodland walking trails. The Glocester Land Trust has done an excellent job preserving this land and also blazing, mapping, and maintaining the trails. This is one of my favorite spots for dog walking. The trails are logical and blazed so it is hard to get lost here.
Medium size trail network with a variety of forest and fields. Well marked and well maintained trails, and a large parking area.
Always a different experience especially with the change of seasons. There are some adventurous trails with beautiful views of nature at her finest with rock/cave formations, various species of trees especially the awesome scents of the white pines.

“There are some adventurous trails with beautiful views of nature at her finest with rock/cave formations, various species of trees especially the awesome scents of the white pines.”
“So much to see and yes it's great for dogs as long as they are leashed that would be greatly appreciated.”
“The landscape is a good representation of inland Rhode Island: mostly forested, with a few gentle hills, some streams, a few glacial boulders, and the obligatory stone wall.”
“Their are two trailheads with parking, this one on Route 44, and Heritage park off Chestnut Oak road.”
“Well marked and well maintained trails, and a large parking area.”
“It does get pretty wet and muddy on some of the trails, and there are portions where huge systems of roots crisscross the trail, so bring good shoes and watch your step.”
