February 11, 2021Love this trail! Went the morning after we got a few inches and it was blanketed in white. Beautiful. Trail was mostly broken by XC skiers but there were a few parts that weren’t. Wore microspikes and was fine, it wasn’t super slippery but there could have been some ice under the snow.

January 22, 2021Favorite hike in the area. Had the entire trail to myself. Interesting and peaceful.
December 15, 2020December 12, 2020Lovely chilly foggy morning. Still have never seen the Sudbury River. Also took a side hike around Walden Pond for fun.

November 21, 2020November 21, 2020Added the Pond Loop around Walden Pond to make this about 8 miles. Well worth it. Parking lot was full, with cars on the road by 8:30 AM
November 14, 2020November 14, 2020November 11, 2020Great trail! Lots to see, several horses & dogs. Trail map was useful as some portions are not clearly marked.
November 7, 2020Trail was very flat, lots of sign for ticks and not a lot of elevation. Good for a nature walk
November 2, 2020Yes, download some tracks to follow as there are many trails thru the area. Someone has done a stellar job cleaning all of the blowdown from the past several weeks. Was gale force gusty but no issues as most everything had been brought down by previous storms.
October 24, 2020October 23, 2020Such a pretty walk in the woods, especially in the fall! Not too crowded on a weekend though the lot was full. Poorly marked but AllTrails fixes that. Can’t wait to come back and trail run in these woods!
October 18, 2020Beautiful hike. There were a lot of folks with dogs off leash today.
October 11, 2020October 4, 2020Good trail. Not much for signage. Just use the app and you’ll be ok. Lots of side and connector trails to explore. Good for dogs. A few groups of horses were walking through
September 20, 2020September 19, 2020September 6, 2020Really picturesque throughout. Some small hills. Very well marked. Few mosquitoes at this time. Not many people.

July 25, 2020the trails themselves we're good, not nearly as trafficked as I was expecting which was great, but the intersections aren't marked super well and there were definitely TONS of bugs...kept having to pick them out of my eye lashes
June 20, 2020River is pretty dried up, a lot of bug. Do not forget bug spray.
June 13, 2020Lots to see on these trails. You go from views of the river (Sudbury) to woodland, wetlands, a horse farm and farm lands. There’s a nice climb to the top of Mt. Misery which is more like a hill and toward the end you brush by Walden Pond. The trails are wide and not too rocky nor full of tree roots. No bugs either! GPS helps to stay on the mapped route as it’s pretty easy to get off course in some places.
June 7, 2020Relatively flat and well maintained, this is a nice hike through several forest ecosystems and marshlands. We took the hike clockwise and were glad as the trail follows the Sudbury river and provides some obstructed water views. Mt Misery had a nice wood teepee on top so that part is nice for families. There were some opportunities to go down to the water we did not take.
May 3, 2020Very nice trail loop; decent views and it isn’t overly strenuous.
