Confirmed from Stowe Meadows' 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 Stowe Meadows

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice hiking area.. me and the family took a winter hike on a sunny afternoon. Some areas around the dam I would watch little kids.

★★★★☆ — Kurt , Jan 2023

Nice forest hiking, large old dam creates nice water feature, lots of birds & wildlife. Trail kiosk with guides and marked trails of three levels of difficulty.

★★★★☆ — Donald , Nov 2024

This is our favorite new spot to walk with the dogs off leash. They love the stream!

★★★★★ — Deryn , Apr 2023
