Confirmed from The Grove'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.
Peaceful area for walking and letting dogs swim, including lakeside beaches and paths.
What runners say about The Grove
“Alot of beautiful ly peaceful trails and a nice swim area for your furry family to cool off in .”
“An absolute blast to bring your dog and have a relaxing day at the beach- all of the dogs I've seen here are super friendly and the owners are as well.”
My friend belives the beach off of the cleared area, not far from the enterance, has the best veiw of Marlborough. It really does look like a painting. The paths provide a nice veiw of nature.
Nice place to go for a short walk and is popular for people to bring their dogs. Watch out for the dog poo. Trail is in decent shape along the Fort Meadow Reservoir and also loops around behind Walmart. Fair amount of parking. An okay hill for sliding in winter.
Close to where I live. I come here for some quite time, nice short trails, little sandy beach area, always dogs around. Nice area to take pictures.
Great place to walk with dog or just for relaxing and appreciation of the beautiful views !😍
