Confirmed from trailhead to Burlington Landlocked Forest'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.
A long, narrow, forested park that's popular for hiking and mountain biking.

“Cool Route 3 overlook, abandoned 1940s cars, and some really cool and easy to follow trails -- very hard to get lost.”

Great place to come mountain biking. Easy trails, so anyone with a suitable bike could ride around. If you go on a weekend you'll usually see a few cars in the parking lot. The place is fairly small, and has cell phone coverage throughout, so no worries of getting lost/stuck.
Great mtb trails. Cool Route 3 overlook, abandoned 1940s cars, and some really cool and easy to follow trails -- very hard to get lost. Nice sunsets. Ending a nice ride with the power lines hills is so sick. Nothing too hard. "Milk crate" has some jumps and rollers.
Full of surprises, noisy on the northern part next to Rte 3, with good hike sections.
This was a nice easy walk, fairly well marked with many options to choose from.
