Confirmed from Windswept Bog'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.

What runners say about Windswept Bog

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (12 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great hidden gem on Nantucket! Easy hike to Stump Pond and beautifully surrounded by trees and bushes.

★★★★★ — Matt , Jun 2026

Great trail but bugs are annoying, I suppose it being a bog should have clued me in to that

★★★★☆ — Rob , Jul 2025
