Confirmed from Wildlands Trust - Willow Brook Farm'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.

Whoever manages or does the upkeep here - KUDOS !!! Great little hiking area/park. Clean trails and nicely organized. Visiting parents in Pembroke-grew up here and never knew about it !! Highly recommend

Beautiful place, nice trails, interesting to see bagged dog feces left by the trail, though. Gotta wonder when they'll get picked up by the owners.

★★★★★ — John , Apr 2021

Overall a very nice park. Trails are mostly wide & clean. There aare a few areas that are rocky or have lots of roots exposed. Turns out there's a cute little lookout over a swamp area, the foliage view is great btw! Why I only rate it 4 star...

★★★★☆ — Ingrid , Oct 2019

A nice walk in the park. At Willow Brook you get it all, some open landscape, a mini-library, some heavily wooded trails, and a watch tower to climb up before heading back. I went on a warm February day, it was soggy but in a good way. Overall, this park is very well maintained.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
