Confirmed from Sugarbush 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.

What runners say about Sugarbush Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Wonderful experience for the kiddos. They had a story along the trail. The kids became excited to read each one. Squirrels, chipmunks, butterflies, dragonflies, turtles and deer all seen in a single visit. Do warn about ticks.

★★★★★ — Aaron , Jul 2021

Beautiful little hike in town, just a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Great quiet scenery.
