Great HIll Conservation Area is a 1.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Acton, Massachusetts that features a lake. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking, walking, and trail running. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
This was a great winter hike. Someone has clearly groomed the trails, so it was easy even through the uphill and downhills to navigate all of the colored trails at Great Hill. We encountered a number of people with their dogs, so there was a lot of masking and unmasking, but it was a lovely snowy walk.
The traffic noise was a bit annoying, but otherwise an enjoyable romp through the woods. In these days of Covid, happy to report that every one I ran into was wearing a mask. And only encountered 1 wayward off leash dog. Only did the yellow loop. Plan to go back and try a bunch of the blue trails.
Nice easy trail. Mostly flat. Hard to follow the trail in spots because of the leaf cover. Some trail markers too far apart.
Great to sneak out of your home for a quick run or walk. Perfect with elevation and loops.
We took a slightly alternate path this time through that ended up adding half a mile to the hike. it was a good hike on a weekday afternoon. It was relatively lightly traveled, but there were a lot of rocks and roots that we had to pick over pretty carefully at times. In general however we like the path.
Great hill grand tour! I went up the hill in the center 3 times, to get more practice with hill climbing. Now I'm sore.
kinda muddy but beautiful and there are options. meet some really nice people!!!
