We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Town of Ellington - Batz Trails yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Town of Ellington - Batz Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (10 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Easy place to park. Nice hike for beginners. Trails are well marked. Others suggested going counterclockwise and I agree. Uphill climb for about 500 feet. Some of the trail had been raked clear of leaves and debris. Very nicely maintained property.
