Though I prefer loop trails personally, this is a great out and back trail for easy walks or runs. Beautiful to get out and enjoy a crisp Fall day. Nice little surprise at the end.

Nice foliage today! Nice little walk in the woods with a cute little view of Hooksett at the top! You can definitely hear 93 though...
very easy and quick stroll. great colors in early October!
There is a nice parking lot. Quick, easy hike, perfect to take a break while driving on the highway. The view is okay, nothing amazing.
Nice easy trail for a morning hike with the dog. View of the pond was very pretty. Bring bug spray.
liked the hike overall but road noise is very loud and constant
Used this trail for horseback riding. The bugs weren’t bad, haven’t found any ticks. However there is a lot of loose gravel which is a pain in the butt with horses, and also if you were mountain biking.
i really like this trail. is very easy, clear path. there are typically a lot of the cars in the parking lot but it never feels crowded and especially as someone who goes alone i always feel safe. and lots of places to sit to have a beautiful view of the lake.
The trail itself was great. But the trail map doesn’t give the correct trail head. I ended up on private property. Had to talk with the owner. But he was cool. But all trails should really update the trail head location.
great trail, easy as can be with 2 ponds. Lots of bugs, friendly people.
A little buggy because the trail is next to a swamp, but great trail for training for a 5K.
relaxing, smooth walk with kids ages 5 and 7
This trail is a very easy walk. It’s flat and smooth (nothing to trip on) and mostly shaded. There’s a lot of people and dogs on the trail so I would keep that in mind if you have a nervous dog.
Quick morning hike to overlook parts of Hooksett! Will do it again!
nice trail, not made for running too many pine needles, rocks and roots. it's great for hiking just remember to bring bug spray
training hike using many trail segments. not standard
Second time doing the trail this month. Very easy, suitable for bikes and even wheelchairs. A little buggy today but it wasn’t bad the first time. Takes just over an hour total. Pretty popular trail.
Nice little hike, even in the rain. A lot of the trail has a nice bed of pine needles, and there are some limited views at the top. Also nice for its proximity to Manchester.
Gorgeous trail with amazing views at summit. Perfect for beginners who want to dip their toe into some inclines. Take poles! Saw a decent amount of poison ivy so be careful. Definitely going back in the fall.

Nice walking trail!
Easy family hike.
easy
Great easy run trail for someone getting back into running
This trail was pretty sweet. A little developed with a gravel trail but the sights were so gorgeous. Two beautiful bodies of water. Definitely coming back.
Good in Winter, way too many ticks in summer because part of the trails you walk on is grass. Very muddy in spring.
the pond was a little over flowing. but the hike was great
Well maintained flat trail good for running
This would be a good good trail to bike! it's a very flat gravel trail wide enough for a car. There's a little beach at the end (no signs that say you cannot swim so I assume swimming is okay) and a few people were fishing as well. lots of owners with dogs on leashes walking the trail when I went on a Sunday afternoon all very friendly! nice place for views of wetlands and beaver dam's :) and bird peeping! saw a huge woodpecker
