Confirmed from Trustees of Reservations' 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.
Nature preserve featuring carriage roads and walking trails, some with ocean views.
What runners say about Trustees of Reservations
“Wonderful place to spend time, take in the beautiful views & walk on the well maintained trails.”
Beautiful place to take a walk with lovely views of coastal homes and the Boston skyline. Hilly but not steep, with wide open carriage roads and some narrower wooded paths. Multiple options so you can make your walk shorter or longer. Popular with dogs (on leashes) and their humans.
I went to World's End today, 7/25/23. Not only did I have a wonderful hike, but the woman who was doing check-ins at the gate was absolutely wonderful. I am so sorry I didn't get her name because she was great. Very engaging and knowledgeable.
Its a really nice peninsula park that could be make better with a seawall & sidewalk running along its shoreline, There is also a hill that they could but a parking lot on, so people could enjoy the view from the top of the hill, just by parking their car there.
We walked at Worlds End. It was a cold and windy day in mid-march with periods of snow. You feel every bit of the wind in some places on the walk. Dress for the conditions and then pack an extra layer. The bay views are dramatic and spectacular. Reserve timed tickets before your visit. It sells out frequently.
